Supposing if you could delete one year from your life then what year it would be and why?

I'd need to expand it to 18 months from Jan 2016 to June 2018 when I buried my mom and both sisters, handled all the estates, and put my family behind me. And I did it all alone, aside from 3 sets of attorneys, 3 probate courts, and law enforcement in 3 states... don't ask.

On the flip side that was the end of 40 years of me taking care of all of three female adult children in my family, their trauma and their drama. Financially, emotionally, career wise, technology, houses, cars, etc. So ultimately it was a huge relief.

I am who I am because of everything that’s happened around me , for me , to me , because of me etc etc. to delete a year that would likely ( butterfly effect ) ripple changes from that point forward , changing present me and future me and why would I want that if I’m happy being me.


It’s an interesting question but I’ve no desire to change anything in may past or remove it from existence

[dustybiker2]

Good question. However deleting something removes the lessons possibly learned. It opens a door for history to repeat itself once again giving you opportunity to learn those lessons. So does deleting something fix it? Or do you just hurt in a different fragment in your life? These are questions we aren't supposed to have the answers for. We have no power other than experience as an ore through this life.

January 2019 specifically lol. I was overwhelmed with working and going to college. My grandma and two other relatives died around the same time, grandma was only really significant one tho. Relationship of around 2 years also ended when grandma died, think it was day after? That time period is really blurry tbh.

I don't like to change the past, since everything that happens (the good and the bad) is what has made me the person I am.

If I had to change the way a year went, I would change 1997. That's the year my mother went to the hospital for a routine test, ended up having heart surgery, and died 2 months later, never leaving the hospital. It was a tough year for me and our family.

2001. The year my parents abandoned me and I had to rebuild my life from scratch. That was a hell of an ordeal for a 12-year-old.

[sayan7]

Why they abandoned you?

[McSteamy]

2022.. met a girl online.. spoke to her often over calls. Got attached to her then she left stating that I'm distracting her from studies. I admired her for understanding me well but realized it's just my illusion. Caring people too much breaks heart. I just wish it would erase from my memories.

Does deletion change the outcome? If not, I wouldn't see the point, The worst years taught me the most valuable lessons.

[Curmudgeon]

A deletion, or a do-over? I would prefer the latter.

[mistixs]

I would be worried about the potential repercussions of that

[MemeSupreme]

literally just pick any from 2008 - 2019 and i'd be better off for it

[MemeSupreme]

they just sucked

[docster]

1981. Especially the second half. (Start of high school.) 😩

[AngryCarl2]

One that I wouldn't miss, let's say...1974. Although I did like that Drifters song that was popular that year, Kissing in the Back Row of the Movies.

[Jennz6]

Twenty years ago, I would definitely delete that year

[LiamJHayden]

2011. I was hit by a vehicle in a crosswalk and suffered a compound fracture of my right tibia. A few months later we lost my mom.

[McLlovin]

2020 because nothing worth remembering happened to me at that particular point lol

[nonovava]

2020, when i lowered my standards for someone who didn't worth it and i spent my whole year miserable. and being haunted by those moments even now...

[BonnieMoonclair]

2021 the time I installed Tik tok and first was a good place but then Hurts me and ruined my life, now for now I'm not using it, 2021 give me so nostalgia

[Anonymous]

There are several years I'd like to delete, for various problems that occurred in those years.

2015, 2019, and some others.

[qwerty2469]

This last year. Too much stress for a shitty 10k raise. Worst year of my 44 year life

[emeraldsaphire]

2001. 911 ruined everything
