What Would You Like To Have Been If You Had Your Time Again?

Basically, you wished you would've starved to death?

Maybe...when I was 25 years old or so, I would have liked to try my hand at stand up comedy. I doubt I would have been good at anything besides selling or stand up comedy.

However, I genuinely wish I would have been a kinder person when I was young.

For me it is easier to say what I wish I wasn't... so damn gullible.

I'd wished that l had taken up the hard to master art of ....untying kittens all wrapped up in string, l could have been a Grand Master by todays standards!

I will chnge my education

Mebbe sumthin' sweet & cute.

Like when I rise from the dead most nights, an' head on ovah to your place for succor c/o the blood pulsin' like a GPS from your neck bcs actschwlly I a vampire.

Only it is 1876 again, an' your name is Quentin, an' I wearin' a Snoopy T shirt undah my cape.

Tellya, I remembah Quentin.

Straight outta law school, kinda quirky -- plus also real tasty.

But when I bit him, sumthin' nevah felt right 'bout my basic technique.

My dress had too many underlaers -- wire an' frills an' fluff.

An' how can you muster erotic abandon in a bonnet strappin' your chops to your skull?

Hey, so I would wanna SNOOPY T.

Much easiah to "cross the threshold" when you can throw a cutesy beagle cross your boobies an' play invitorial.

As I recall, all I had back in the day was a lute an' sum Tarot cards.

Such is the cultural advantage of the age, I guess.

Similar to Claude, I wish I was more kind when I was younger. (Recently I was thinking of contacting my Dad to apologize for all the "bad" times. Hopefully he will understand anyway ...)

Apart from that ― I'm happy with everything else. (Including all the struggles/challenges with "mental illness") ... And wouldn't change anything.

Why? Because it has brought me to where I am today: A good, honest, happy Person working out their dream in Life.

I wish I did more, and worried less

My mistake its that i dont build a email list from the beginning .Now i was rich

I would go back to just before I had my oral surgery (I was 17 years old), and stay away from a mild religious cult that believed you could get things by chanting to a Ghohonza, but would always rationalize you not getting what you want (or the exact opposite) because of ''karma' or such pure crap.
text to speech
Drink plenty of water while my mouth was wired up shut, so I wouldn't have been dehydrated and started having urinary problems because of PH imbalances caused by consuming too much acidic fluids (because water doesn't taste good when you can't clean the inside of your mouth, but I would just force myself for health).

Use what I know about how I best interact with the opposite sex, to make sure my romantic/sexual life would be far better than it was at that time.

All interactions do work best in the context of me being , for lack of a better term, a warm, loving, dominant and seeking out women who have more of a submissive nature, relative to me, rather than the confusion I had about political correct ideas of what I should ideally be.

To be clear on the above, I am pro equality for men and women socially, and realize that power, dominant women need to have the freedom to pursue life on par with any man, and can contribute much to civilization.

Starting in the early 70's, I would aggressively leverage as much real estate in the Los Angeles are as possible, using whatever financing I could find.

I would also put my father in his place, and not feel afraid of what he thought, because I found out later that his grasp of reality was tainted with years of pickling his brain in alcohol, and even a few years of sobriety didn't reverse that reality.

In 1979 or so, when watching how the Federal Reserve was going to start acting with monetary policy, I would sell everything, pay off all outstanding debts, and maybe, just keep a condo to live in, probably in Santa Monica Calif.

A couple of years later, buy a few hundred thousand dollars of Microsoft, Intel, and IBM, and start buying real estate in the Los Angeles area.

In August of 1987, sell all stocks, and buy the day after Black Monday, and just hold for a couple of years.

In 1989, the real estate market in Los Angeles took a big dump, and I would want to be out of most of that by then.

The 90's would be great for tech, so ride the bubble, and I would also want to buy in on the real estate market in Seattle, that would be in the '80's, of course, because that market took a huge dump back then.

Along with becoming financially secure and avoiding decades of excrement jobs, I would have been working on staying sober and drug free (I didn't over do it, but there are things about using that distorts one's ability to reason well), and get physically fit, and become a better musician as well.

With the money I would have, I would also try to influence trends in technology towards the acceptance of bio-enhancement, and try to influence people to reject the ideas of bioconservatism, because I am sure that has slowed biotech advancement from where it should be by now, if it wasn't for quasi-mystical ideas, inferring that suffering, disease, and terminal lifespans due to aging are 'what make us human'.

With what I know now, and the financial backing I would have, I would try to get artificial intelligence and biotech to work together, and if needed, buy an island somewhere to avoid regressive regulations that might impede the development of better biotech.

Honestly i learned a lot from the messes i was in .. now that i have clean mostly all the messes of my past up ....even not doing drug or drinking in me twenties .. i still managed to completely crash and burn in my early thirties .. and have learned a lot that will do me great the rest of my life ..

many times in the past 4 years there where a lot of thing i wish i could have gone back and done differently ..i should have done the vagabonding thing after high school instead of in my late thirties when my health was a mess .. but i had to break my health to make fixing it and taking care of it a priority ..


now if i could go back and actually change things .. i would get a passport at 18 and work half the year in the US and live in the philippines the other half

Could the Mother-In Law walking in on you be the made up event to tell ? Just a thought you have told it so many times that maybe that's why you think it really happened. A great story to tell and who would doubt you in a audience.

Hi Lanfear,
Thanks for doing such a post. It is something different and fascinating.
I wish I could have a trip round the world and enjoy the amazing natural beauty. I love learning, wish to make my career and learn Calligraphy and Designing as well.
Many thanks

i wish i was computer repair person after being quoted $145 an hour for labour

Probably buy the warriorforum and give it to Thaddeus T. Hogg for free.

Hi I am new to the forum, but this question was really interesting.

If went back time again, may be I will wish to have super powers, so that I can read other's mind and predict disaster. In such a way I could have prevented the corona virus attcking our beatiful world.
