I wonder I wonder....

I’d like to be thoroughly fit and in good shape, with no horrible medical issues and pain.

I’d dearly love to hug both my parents again and thank them for being such wonderful parents.

I’d like to go back and change some career decisions (or would I?, I met my husband at work and though I’d probably still be married it wouldn’t be to him and my children wouldn’t be the ones I have and dearly love)

I’d also like tea with my dearest Granny and Grandma and Grampa, all died before I reached 16 and I miss them, much as I miss my dear parents.

I would love to go back and hug and kiss my parents and tell them how much I loved them despite not always showing it as much as I should have.
Would love to be able to go back to our old family home, to my old room with the pink candle wick cover and posters of the Monkees on the walls. To be looked after.
But wouldn’t want to be a teenager again, was a horrible time, I lacked confidence and was not conventionally good looking, was cast as the nerdy girl who got stuck with the single friend of my best friend’s boyfriend.

'The past or a foreign country, they do things differently there.' I have no wish to revisit the past. The decisions I made, I made for good reasons at the time. My dad knew I loved him all my life. Without my ex husband,I wouldn't have my lovely children. I've let go

The decisions we made cannot be undone, so I try not to regret anything, and only be thankful for the positives that have resulted. I was hard work for my lovely parents, until I had my son and daughter, and was then able to appreciate their wisdom and repay them for their love and support. I married a wrong ‘un (ex husband since 1974) but have my two children and four granddaughters, so absolutely no regrets. Yes, how lovely it would be to spend time with my parents, two sisters and Nan in our very modest, but warm, welcoming home, with the cats too. I have serious concerns about the world now, although my parents and grandparents lived through two world wars!

I’d change so much I don’t know where to start.

Same as you travelsafar tho fortunately Mum is still around and lives just near me.

I’d like to be able to run really fast as I used to, especially if a bus was coming.
I miss being really really slender with good legs.

I'd change lots of things. And I'd like to have been a short blonde instead of a tall brunette. (I'm not tall now as I've shrunk a lot) 😁

I would like to have been born to different parents but have the same siblings. If that makes sense.

I wold like to speak with one of my grannies.
Who died sadly, decades before I was born.

I would love to have my ‘young’ legs back!

And to have realised when I was young and slim, that having mere 34A, cleavage-less boobs (except when pregnant/breastfeeding) was a blessing rather than something to sigh over.

Me too Skydancer.

I'd go back, even for just 24 hours, to see all the gorgeous pets I've lost over the years. Each and every one of them. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents.

The offer is there...

I would love to see, talk to and hug my beloved grandmother just one more time

My wedding day......when my Dad offered to give the chauffeur a fiver to take us back home and I told him not to be silly......wish I had let him.

There's a lot I wish I hadn't done. But I wouldn't want to change anything as who knows what would happen instead. Might be worse.

Well I was a steaming great idiot and spoilt my chances early on. Everything else has been a compromise so yes I would change it all.

I really wish I could go back to so many different ages, but only if I could know then what I know now! I made very many bad decisions.

I too ponder on my teenage years, and would love to be young ,slim and agile, with brown hair again, but I also realise how immature I was, how I wasted opportunities and how I took so much for granted, particularly my parents.

For some reason I’ve been obsessed with daydreaming back to my late teens lately.
I’d love a day back when my parents were still together and happy, my darling younger brother who passed unexpectedly last year was here and I was slimmer, fit and in love. One thing I’d tell my younger self would be to stop being so anxious about work and stop worrying about what other people think of me. To just enjoy life and be happy, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Just a day of living in the past and make a few different decisions.

I would like to return to my 20s knowing what I do now. The 1960s were a wonderful time but I did make some decisions I now regret.

One of the decisions I regred is having married. I should never have married anyone. I wasnever cut out to be part of a twosome. However I would never go back on my decision not to have children. I would have made a dreadful parent.

@Bluedaisy I don’t remember my teens being so great, of course I would love to be younger in order to not wake up with aches and pains, a dodgy knee and hip, but now at my age I finally feel comfortable in my own skin.

I would go back and change some of the decisions I made.
