I am posting my personal writing for the first time, outside of writing for school. This is a huge step for me, but I am taking the plunge. I am pushing myself to stop hiding and be brave and share. I would like feedback, but don’t be too harsh. Please? 😌 Thanks for reading if you make it that far!
In life when tasked with an average mundane question in everyday conversation, how much thought should one really give to the answer. The answer is meant to be part of polite lighthearted banter, not a soul awakening moment. So, I lead with this to pose one of those questions to you. If you could go back, would you? And, yes, by go back, I mean back to a time and place when things in your life were different. A time when you were different. A time when you could again live the best part of something would you? So, you may say yes, you may even say no. So, I am unsure what to say. I am bewildered or more stuck on this train of thought that if one went back to a moment to live be in it once more, that counts as a second time then these moments differ? Then, you in fact did not go back to moment again you. You experienced the same moment twice. One could live the same moment over, and it be a different moment from the first! So, I wonder if you say yes could you even ever really go back or could you just have the same experience a second time?
then the phrase if I could go back, I would change so much. I would do this different. Or my favorite I want to go back because of all the best times. Conversations flow, and turns are taken. Eventually, its time to answer. “I would not go back, even my best times (and I had some incredible times), well they definitely were never the worst of my times, and I won’t go back there ever!
So, to some going back is ok, for most going forward is the only way. some go in circles. It’s a maze, and I am almost certain there is not a way out definitely just make the best of the times and try to avoid the worst of them.
