Question

Good question..

I could think of a few thingings but to be honest. I doesn't matter I wouldn't change anything because if I did change it . Or anything it would change who I am right now.

And I will hope for the better
But I wouldn't be willing to take that chance

Just because the past is the past. And today is today

Life happens. And in that moment it might all seem bad.

But I don't care what it is. Give us a little bit of time.
And you will not only find the positives. That come from it. You will also find the reason and understanding of it

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Nothing.

Forgetting things is the leading cause of degenerative brain diseases like dementia and alzheimers.

You end up with more and more memories that take up more and more of your brain, and you can't access them, so they become neuron blockades instead of neuron highways.

Get enough blockades clogging your brain, and basic cognition becomes impossible or at least very slow, because memories use the same highways that current thoughts use.

What you want, is to instead slightly overwrite older memories bit by bit with edited versions by using memory combination (aka creativity), this perpetually frees up space, while also allowing neuron highways in the brain to stay open. And it turns bad memories into good ones (or vice versa if you're not careful).

Id like to say Id erase My ex fiancè and I’s relationship but I know it was needed for the life I have now. I took her skating for our first date, soon she moved in while she was broke and had nothing. I had known her since we were kids, and we had been a slow burn before we got our chance in our 23rd year. When she got her inheritance she left suddenly and without a trace. I don’t know if the money changed her, or if i was played all along. I choose to believe there was something real to it, but other days I have doubt. After I found more things after there is no doubt. She created a villain that day. But a bike made a hero, a hero of his own story and the captain of his own destiny.

sawno · Answer

My mind doesn't have the best memory so I'd already forget more than I should. But I don't forget anything on purpose. Whatever I experienced is part of why I am me. And while my mind is somewhat grounded in that who I am is based on my current knowledge rather than past experiences I wouldn't want to tamper with my memory. Whatever is there is supposed to be there.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Probably putting my cat to sleep. I had him for 19 years, but the most vivid and intrusive memory is him laying dead in my lap. It’s kind of soured me on wanting to own pets again, because it’s not like I’m left with a bunch of happy memories. I mean, I have them, but I can’t think about them without thinking of the end.

I think I’m kind of a “better to have never loved at all than to have loved and lost” type of person🤷‍♂️😅 Loss is something I don’t do well with in general.

uncleBobbyb77 · Answer

Nothing. The things I regret are things I didn't do more than anything I've done and any experience whether good or bad is an opportunity to gain knowledge and wisdom.
