If you restarted your life from scratch, would you end up in the same place?

[DJB72]

Yes. I wouldn't change my past despite the struggles because it would change who I am. Change anything before I met my wife and I wouldn't be the man she fell in love with. Change anything before my son was born and he ceases to exist.

I've made mistakes, don't misunderstand me. I'm not perfect and I'm far from being "happy", but happiness is a journey and not a destination. Despite the struggles I'm at more Peace now than I was five years ago. Or twenty. Or 40.

But I'll be more at Peace a year from now.

Not on all things, but strangely I would have to again marry the woman I'm now getting divorced from as this is required for our children to exist. I could not wish for a new version of my life in which these two specific people do not get born.

Maybe I would make a marriage contract, but I would have to give in if she does not accept.

[catiecatie]

Definitely not! I’d like to think I’d take a different path in life starting with my career choice. I think my life would be the same up until I made my decision for college.

[Kori1236]

Do I get to restart life with all the knowledge I have now? If so yes I’d restart and I’d probably end up in the same place only much sooner.

[Leapfrog00]

Hell no! I wouldn't change anything either, except for one particular thing that would make all the difference. I would've stuck up for myself with all the abusers, my family, and my ex-girlfriend. I may have ended up in trouble defending myself, but at least I'd know I'm someone who doesn't take it!

If I started my life from scratch, I would end up in a worse position by far.
Not only did I work a long time to get where I am, but buying a house in my state is currently unaffordable. I got lucky with my house, buying it when I did. Prices and interest rates have skyrocketed since then. Very few people who aren't super wealthy are buying homes where I'm at right now

Or maybe I took the question to practically, I don't know lol

[Opinion Owner]

*too

[jennifer_bloom]

I think it’s a miracle my life isn’t 10 to 5,000 times worse then what it is right now. I escaped so many violent enemies that were trying to entangle me in their lives.

[menina]

No, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. I would be a complete different person, which it would be great!

[Agape93]

Nope. I'd likely be on prison, dead or happier. But it would regardless not be the same path I'm on now.

[itsalyssaagain]

You have no idea how much I wish I can take so many things back….. but I don’t want to live in regret.

[richardcory]

No. Random things have made large changes in my life

[Quackthulu2]

If I had to relive this life I would make sure not to survive being a toddler.

[leahzrc]

only if I kept my memories I would be somewhere else

[Anonymous]

Yes, I'd end up in hell, just like I am right now
God has made it abundantly clear that I'm nothing more than a sick experiment where he's trying to see how much a human can suffer before turning on him

[exitseven]

Nope. I would hopefully not waste so much time on lost causes.

[FunkyMonkee]

I sure as fuck hope not!! Do I get to keep the knowledge I have now?

[Unit1]

Of course. Things are beyond my Control anyway unless i am born halfway rich.

[Unit1]

Yeah, i'd try to not survive if i were to restart over. Its not worth it.

[Nuu96]

Mostly no. Cz we know where we had fallen down. And if we have at least a little conscience, we have to make ourselves strong not to end up the life in the same place like earlier.

[art84]

Probably be less shy but that's about it. Wouldn't change anything else.

[lorenzomichael]

Yeah. I just would have gotten here quicker. I love my life.

[Blueeyes81]

If I had no memory of my current life then I suspect I'd head towards a similar trajectory.

[shades777]

Not if I had the ability to keep all my memories, experiences and skills

[Camelia7012]

I would like a complete different one

[comekitty]

I sure hope so 🙂

[CallmeTheKnight]

Nope. Id definitely be in a far more better place

[TrillXHippy]

There’s a possibility that I might not be

[BoopBoopBeep]

I hope so.

[LazerBean]

I would hope so

[MementoMori777]

Most likely not

[fonduegirl]

I would call quits.

[LavLavLuv]

Maybe no
