"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Day 6: Redo/Rewind If life had a "redo" or "rewind" button would you use it? If so, what situation comes to mind? If not, why? Prompt Creator: aralls It is so very tempting to be kind and rewind. Looking back on those big events in my life, it does make me wonder what I could have done differently. The ones where I wish I had just a little more time with a person, to say the things I wish I could have said. To take back hateful words and tell the person that I love them before they leave. There are other moments I would have stopped from happening from jump street, or encouraged another to act right instead of wrong. To cherish reverent moments just a little longer. Ah, if only there was that possibility. However, no one would be the same if life presented each person with a rewind button. Time would constantly be in flux from the changes taking place. What if two people or more want to change the same event for different reasons? What happens to the other people in the event? What happens to history itself? The constant tug and pug from everyone hitting that damn button over and over again. What if...there was a zombie apocalypse? *Bites nails in fear while clutching survival pack tighter to body* One paragraph earlier... However, no one would be the same if life presented each person with a rewind button. However harder life has been for all of us, it is the those devastating moments and those embarrassing moments and those cringe-worthy moments that make us who we are today. What we've learned, the ability to look back of life and wonder if life could be different, make us who we are today. Hitting the redo button would erase all we learned and everything that made us grow as individuals. The offer does have a siren's appeal, but I ultimately don't know if I would like the outcome. I'd have to say no. |
