time travel
if you have a time machine, more expert than your watch- a machine that can take you back to past or send you to the future. would you prefer to be sent back to see your past or taken forward to see your future?
sent to your past, it’s likely you can do changes expecting better present maybe.. didn’t do things that you think you should ask apology for. leave a single thing that takes your time most and you know it’s useless.. or just for the sake to really capture the good memory you had. to recall the important detail that you might forget. make changes, doesn’t mean that you regret, just you would prefer a thing to be better.
see your future, then you just could prepare it. but isn’t it possible for the future to change? so, if it’s not something you like, handling things differently now, expecting future like the way you want it. but then, you don’t know the formula yielding your future. it’s still trial and error. you change your habits, and yet it’s still the same future. maybe it’s your fate.
oh gosh. i wish i have one. then i surely know how to make full use of it.

Are you sure? I’m not. Even if you change what you think is ‘bad’ in the past, it still won’t guarantee that the *present* you will be a better person than the ‘you’ now.
And if you go to the future, well, that’ll be most likely useless. Since little things you do now can change the future. And even worse, if you see something terrible in the future, then the *present* you will always do thing in the fear of that bad future. Which can result in an even worse future.

“The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones; they are what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.” -Ralph Waldo E.-
