Pressing Redo

If you could, would you?

Have you ever considered what moment you would go back and experience or even change if it was possible? This has always been one of my favorite questions because there are so many wonderful things that happen to a person, how could you only choose one? I have spent a lot of time in thought over this one question, but I finally came up with an answer. My answer.

If I could go back in time to change something I have already done, to have the option to redo something I wouldn't change what I had done, I would simply experience it again. I have no regrets for the actions I have taken, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. As horrible as it sounds I would pick a time that brought me to my knees with sorrow and self doubt, because in this pain I found myself.

In this moment in time I questioned everything about the person I was because I wanted to know why, why this had happened to me, what I had done to deserve it. Pain and sorrow wear on a soul, but happiness is only best in the moment it was designed for. I believe going back to a moment of self questioning would change my outlook, I could understand just why. Maybe I could actually be okay with it.

Without the bitter the sweets would not be as sweet. Nothing can ever be worth it if there wasnt something in the way. How can one feel accomplishment if there were no hardships on the way? How can one appreciate genuine love when they have never feel heartache? Do you really know if you are high if you have never felt low?

So think about this, if you could go back in time and experience or change anything you have ever done; what moment would you choose?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
