I have been thinking about my past for quite some time now while wondering what I would do if I had the chance to change it. Well, to my surprise, I found it hard to come up with anything significant. There are a lot of moments from the past that I regret and could have avoided. But I undoubtedly cannot deny that all those moments have made me the person I am today. I would not want to change much from the past, even if I could. It was who I was then, and that was what I exactly wanted. Yes, there comes a moment of regret right after it, but I also hear an inner voice that tells me how valuable I am and that I have learned so much more. I am genuinely grateful for that.
Although, realistically speaking, if I could change something from the past, I would surely revoke the importance I gave to examinations. As a child, I sacrificed a lot while studying for exams. I sacrificed my time with family and friends. I sacrificed my interest in music and photography. I used to skip school to study, as I thought I might get distracted and lack adequate time to prepare for exams. As I recall those days, it seems like I might have been the only person to have done something like this. So yes, if I ever had the chance to go back in time, I would surely not skip school to study. I would have wanted to stay in school and enjoy those days.
Please do not misunderstand that this means I would not want to study at all. In retrospect, I feel like I could have balanced my time better. I eventually had to give up music because of my exams, as I thought I would not be able to handle the pressure. But if I went back in time, I would not have abandoned my passion for music. I would have worked hard to balance both at the same time.
And I would surely want to change another thing. If at all, I hurt someone intentionally or unintentionally, I would surely try to undo it by altering my actions. Oh, and one last thing: I would definitely invest in bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. Well, that is pretty cliché I guess. After all, who would not want to be rich?
