LOL..you just rewinded and didn't realise it! -- I beg to differ with you, I do realize what just took place -- reflecting, reminiscing, or rewinding is not what your OP suggested (which was one's ability to change a past event). By your own words, you equate rewind with an ability to change a past event. If what I did (as you suggest) was to "rewind", then that would imply that I did the impossible
Your OT:
In retrospect, I believe we all have one thing we might change if
"Rewind" were possible. What's yours? | |

i wouldn't change a thing.
i take special care to take care of those i care about and continue to do so throughout the relationship. i also take care to say the things i mean to say and if for some reason i regret saying something, i'll attempt to fix it on the spot.
if anyone needs to rewind and re-do it would be the guy.

Posted: 4/27/2009 10:53:52 PM | It's a strange one...but it crosses my mind every so often....
When I was in a country school in grade one a little boy in grade two took a shine to me....He brought me flowers from by the roadside...He followed me around at recess and lunch being my little shadow. I really liked him and thought about marrying him one day. This went on for four more years before my family moved away to town 60 miles away. I had my first little heartbreak. I thought I'd never see him again.
Fast forward to high school and sports. I was a girl jock and we had intra-mural sports which meant that I went to play games at different schools. We went to the high school in the area that I grew up in to play basketball. He was in the stands and saw me. He came down to see me after the game with his friends. I was 14 and he was 16...and it was BIG TIME sparks! He was handsome and so grown up like country boys can be. He took my phone # and called me long distance every chance he got. At least three times aweek. It was expensive back then!
He drove all the way into town (60 miles away) every Saturday to take me out in the summer. We went to the drive-in after he took me for nice dinners out. He gave me gifts. I was very spoiled by him. It was a romance to remember. He kissed pretty darn good.
In the fall, it was harder for him to come every weekend to see me as he was driving his dad's truck. The cattle were down from the summer grazing and he had more chores to do. I didn't like it. I wasn't used to being home on Saturday nights.
I started seeing someone else. I had to tell him. He was angry at me and refused to speak to me after that.
When I was 17 he was in an accident and was in hospital in a semi-coma. I got a call from his friend saying that he was asking for me. I was stunned. I hadn't heard from him in over two years. I went up and saw him. He was still heavily sedated and still somewhat under...but kind of tossing around. I went over and talked to him. He went still....so still. It lasted about 10 mins. then he opened his eyes. He said my name and then went to sleep. I saw him everyday and he got better. Then he went home and recuperated. I went on with my life and left it at that.
I met my future husband and the week before we got married I got a call from my sister. She said that she ran into him and he wanted to know what I was doing. She told him that I was getting married. He said nothing. He just stared at her. Then turned and walked away.
I was married for 20 years. In all that time I never heard from him or saw him.
Apparently he bought a ranch in a fairly remote location in the central BC.
I heard from a couple of his friends that he married and divorced...and is still single.
They also told me that he is a bitter cranky man now. That I broke his heart a long time ago...They asked me why I did that when he was so good to me. They told me how he went off the deep end and did rash and crazy things for awhile. I guess he went rodeoing and rode the worst rank bulls.
Every so once in awhile I think about REWIND....and what could have happened.
I am more mature now and realize that this man loved me for a long time...for a lifetime...
It makes me cry, too....like tonite... | |

Posted: 4/28/2009 12:14:26 AM | Honestly, I often thought about this but I've come to the conclusion that if I could do it all over again, I would do it all the same. Even if I knew what I know now. Everything that happended or didn't made me the person I am today and led me to this point in my life. Granted I may not be entirely satisfied with certain things but that just makes me work harder to change them going forward.
I wouldn't change one thing...not one broken heart, not one tear, not one 'I love you', not even the 'I do'...not one. I'll take the good with the bad, for it is the not so pleasant things that makes us appreciate the wonderful things when they do come around. | |

@daisypetals01
That was beautiful. Kind of like "The Notebook" without
the reunion. Thanks for sharing that. No harm in reflection.
Those tears show that your soul has a "Rainbow." | |

Posted: 5/1/2009 8:20:09 PM | Suddenly on Wednesday my dad took a fatal stroke.
He was vital and himself in the AM, had a lunch with his buds and a beer...went downtown to pick-up a few things at Canadian Tire and to fill-up his truck. A few hours later, they pulled him off life-support and I didn't have a dad anymore. He was 83.
It happened so fast that I didn't get to sit down with him and dot some I's and cross some Ts....basically take care of some issues.
Now I am sitting here...again...thinking about rewind....
He was my stepfather...and as you know what some stepfathers have been known to do...he did.
Because of the other ingredients (namely mother and my siblings) we basically left everything unsaid and undiscussed over the years. It was always the big Grey Ugly Elephant sitting in the middle of our lives. Our mother enabling it and being a co-dependent accessory in the travesty. Our stepfather controlling the dynamics of the family so that he would be safe from justice.
He's gone now. He can't control us anymore...can he?
My mother is ready to cannonize him.
I am going to be 54 this year. Can I finally let it go?
Can't rewind, I have decided...let him go. His maker will deal with his conscience and his sins, I guess. I have faith enough for that.
Goodbye, Dad.... | |

Posted: 5/1/2009 8:30:02 PM | | Oh that is so tempting. I've made mistakes I wish I'ld never made. But all that I've been thru, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, have brought me to where I am today and made the person I am today. I am at peace with both of those. So I would not change anything if I could. | |

Posted: 5/1/2009 9:31:12 PM | | Live life no regrets. Everything happens for a reason. We are in the moment we are in right now for a reason. I wouldn't change a thing. Not the good times, not the bad times. No shoulda, no coulda's or woulda's in my world. | |

Posted: 5/4/2009 12:15:47 PM | It is not good to dwell in the past...
but mostly go back and grow some and talk to some women.. a few of them found out after the fact they thought i was good-looking, funny, and great to be around... of course dont find this out till after they start dating someone else
Homer moment ----> DOH! Where is the freakin communication ladies? TALK TO US... its a two-way street... girls who know what they want and go far are attactive too!!! We shouldnt have to intiate everything... god it feels like the 60's when there is a procedure to dating (find girl, ask father for permisson, ask girl, find commonality, go on date 1, date 2, become official, stay together for 2-3 yrs, discuss marriage, ask father permisson...etc)!!! i cant even get past first two steps!! lol | |

Posted: 5/4/2009 12:51:08 PM | Awwww..Tryinmybest...
It is just the way it is........
Keep looking on the profiles and e-mail..e-mail...and keep e-mailing.
One day...it will happen.
There are so many women that complain that they don't get any e-mails.
So...what's wrong out there? Is it you men?
See? I turned it around....and since you are the male...gosh...you are elected to get out there and e-mail...
Good Luck! | |

Posted: 5/6/2009 4:11:12 PM | I tend to think that I wouldn't change anything. I more or less like myself. Things in my life frustrate me sometimes, but I like the person I've grown into.
I guess if I HAD to change anything, I'd've ended my last long term relationship earlier. I feel like we got to a point where we were just doing unnecessary damage to each other. It didn't end as well as it could have because of that. But even that is hard to say because I managed to land on my feet fairly steadily, though it took some time as such things rarely have an opportune moment, and I know that she was more than ok when it fizzled. | |

Posted: 5/14/2009 7:00:52 AM | | I have two. The biggest will always be I wish I would have spent more time with my Dad before he died. And the second would be I would like to go back to last year right around this time, I would have gotten on a plane and taken a trip to Australia just to find out if it was him, cause I think it was. | |
