Till I was about thirteen, I was the happiest kid on the planet.
My parents loved me and everything I did. And I had a worth, ig.
Eventually, I just transformed into someone that my parents and my family could never accept. That continues to still break my heart, as I still love love my family with all my heart.

I would do anything to feel that worth and happiness again.
My life would have something, if my family could love me like they did long ago.

To hear my grandpa explain how the barometer he had in his bedroom works one more time (he was a meteorologist). When I was little, I would always ask him to explain it to me, he did, everytime, but my little mind just couldn't grasp the concept. He was an exceptionally intelligent man, spoke multiple languages, I just wish I knew him better and for longer...

For me, it was spending time with my (maternal) grandmother. She passed when i was 7 y/o and it has always been a wish in my heart that I would be able to be with her again. She was soo lovable and cheerful and had gone through many hurdles in her life but kept her smile on forever. I really miss her.😥

To have my husband fall in love with me again. We had a very rough time a while back, and I didn't handle it well at all. I became very disconnected - even pushing back - on the relationship. The last couple of years I've been doing the work to heal and to really re-evaluate myself. In doing so, I know I love him more than ever, but he doesn't feel the same or "safe" with me anymore. I'm healing, but I can see how much he isn't healing. I would love for him to heal and to fall in love again.

After reading the first few posts, I feel a little bad for posting this. This was over 10 years ago when I worked at a convenient store. I was closing so I had to take out the garbage. On the ground I found almost $200 and about an ounce of pot. That was a good day for me. Bad day for whoever dropped it.

When I was like 8 or 9 I went to one of my mom’s friends house. They were so nice to me and my favorite part was when we had cookies and hot chocolate together. I know it’s kinda a weird thing to want to do again but I never saw the friend again and I’ll always remember how kind she was. And also that hot chocolate was the best! :)

The chance to live my time in South Korea over again. Tl:dr at the end because I ended up writing a really long post ^-^'

I lived and worked in Korea teaching English as a second language for a little over 3 years and there are SO many reasons I wish I could relive that time. The main reasons being...

1) Ridiculously affordable healthcare. Less than $10 for a clinic visit AND the prescription combined? Uh, yes please! My diabetic sister, who also spent a year teaching ESL there, got her insulin for WAY cheaper than in the US. I also was able to walk into a pharmacy and ask for birth control without needing a doctor's visit and prescription. One month's supply was less than $10. Those are just a few examples.

2) The amazing public transportation! You can get anywhere in Korea without much trouble at all. The subway system is extensive, clean, and cheap, there are taxis on every corner, and multiple bus stops on every block. There are also many bus connections or trains for longer-distance travel that is very clean, comfortable, cheap, and fast! I didn't need a car and I didn't want a car. And let me tell you, living free of the burden of owning a car is so great!

3) Physical activity was a natural part of life. Because I didn't need or want a car, I walked EVERYWHERE. To the subway, bus or taxi stop, grocery store, exploring around Korea almost every weekend, etc. It was SO easy to be fit in Korea and I didn't have to do anything special or extra for my basic fitness other than just live life! Contrast that to here in the US where I have to drive a car everywhere for everything, sit at a desk for work, then set time aside in my busy schedule and pay a gym fee to make up for all that because I don't have the privilege of a home gym. Don't feel so guilty about having such a hard time making time for exercise if you work full time, have dependants, or other things that consume your time. In general, there are a lot of things about living in the US that make it really challenging to prioritize exercise. But that's a whole other rant...

4) How safe it was. Korea has one of the lowest crime rates. It was a culture shock when I first moved there to see people leaving their laptops at their tables while they went up to the register to order coffee. As a single woman, I never felt nervous walking down the street in the middle of the night. I've never felt comfortable doing that in the US.

5) Last but certainly not least, the FOOD! How can you argue with Korean Bbq?! Not only is the food so delicious, but also way better for you overall compared to the US. Korea has its share of fast and junk food, but nothing like here in the US. Most dine-in restaurant cuisine is not nearly so carb and calorie dense and includes a lot of fresh foods. It was very easy to cut sodas, cheese, and bread out of my daily diet as that is not a regular part of the Korean diet and I noticed I felt a lot better for it. I wouldn't say it's not possible to eat healthy in the US, but the food culture in Korea certainly made it so much easier!

Bonus: There were a lot of clever conveniences and systems to take advantage of too that just made sense and made life easier and more enjoyable. For example, many subway stops and grocery stores have free lockers to store your bags so that you don't have to be burdened with them while you shop since most people don't have or don't always use their car.

The only reason I didn't stay was because the pollution affected my health and made me sick all the time. I lived my best life in Korea so far and I've never stopped missing it.

Tl;dr: The culture and lifestyle in South Korea allowed me to thrive like I never have before or since and I wish I could live that time all over again.

My bf and I had gone to the park for a day and his mom was picking us up. When she did, we sat in the back because his baby sister was with her. He had put his arm around my shoulder and I like laid my head on his chest and he put his head on mine. He said, "Can you close your eyes rq." I did and then he like kissed me. It was like such a soft kiss and it made me feel so special. Even when I think about it gives me tingles. I would give anything to do it again.

Whenever I went to visit my Grandma in Jersey my Godmother would take me over to NYC for the day (since she grew up there and knew the city like the back of her hand) and I got to see some great places like the United Nations building, Museum of Natural History, The Ringling Bros. Circus at Madison Square Garden, Chinatown, Little Italy, Central Park, and even took me ice-skating at Rockefeller Center where they had the colossal Christmas tree.

But the one thing I wish I could experience again was having a real N.Y. pizza for the very first time. Oh my dear god........to say it was "life changing" would be a serious understatement !!!

Some people may not understand this but if I could do anything over again, I would hold my infant daughter as she was dying. She was born 8 weeks early via an emergency C-section after they found ascites in her abdominal cavity during a routine ultrasound. The NICU nurses & doctors did everything they could to stabilize her but her tiny body couldn't handle it. She passed away at two days old, on my birthday of all days. If I could change the past, of course I would change it where she didn't have to go through all that suffering & still be with me today, but that's not the topic of this post; I can't relive something that unfortunately never happened in the first place. One of my greatest fears is developing dementia & forgetting her one day. So although losing her was the most difficult & painful thing I've ever experienced, I would do it all again just to hold her closer & love her longer.

Depends. If I went back knowing what I know now, a lot would probably be different.

My partner, currently snoring his head off beside me was my high school BFF. He loved me then. In hindsight I loved him too. We lost touch for 20+ years. He looked for me during Covid and here we are.

The last time with my mum.

Hurting my ex-husband by telling him I’m not sure I ever truly loved him. I did, but I was hurting over his cheating and lies.

So many things make the list. But actually, I wouldn’t change any of it because I wouldn’t be who and where I am now. Regret does us no favours.

My grandma passed away about 2 years ago. She would always pick us up from school on Thursday, and she would make us cookies and we would play with legos and other random toys. The first Thursday of the school year, me and my brothers had become a bit addicted to computer (mostly roblox), and we spent the entire time on her computer. The next time, our mom picked us up, saying she was sick, and asking if we wanted to face-time, or at least call her. I was scarred to call her cause I was a little kid, and she was in the hospital, and idk...

She died 2 weeks later, and I still wish I would of spent more time with her that last Thursday.

1) The period in my career journey where I was genuinely enjoying my work life; Having a good co-worker and friends that support us during or even after office hours. I'm still in touch with them, but all of us already scaterred into new jobs.

2) When I was having close friends (or circles); Hanging out, adventuring together, and sharing life stories. Now, life is hard. While I'm still in touch with those people, we'd rather spending our time to recuperate before working again endlessly.

Let's put something happy in here since I am currently working on recreating those things.

I LOVED travelling since I was a kid. I would go camping with my parents every summer - I loved exploring the different places and reading in the shadows under a giant tree...well, life hits hard sometimes, my parents are divorced and I'm a full-time working adult now. But im reviving my passion for spending the majority of my free time in nature and started travelling alone about a year ago. I now really enjoy visiting different places in my country, go hiking, sit on a bench in the shadows under a big tree and read a book.

After graduating from college one of my highschool friends and I saved up enough money to travel to Thailand for 10 days. It was literally our first time abroad and I was geeking out about almost everything; from having my name and seat number on my plane ticket to mundane airplane food to having my buddy with me on adventures across several cities there. Seems trivial but coming from a 3rd world country such experiences are incredibly uncommon. Now 7 years onward, we both live our own lives however it always gives me childish glee to think back on it.
