IF LIFE HIT CTRL+Z TO 10 YEARS AGO

There’s no manual for life — we just keep living it, making decisions, making mistakes, learning lessons, and gradually shaping who we become. The person we are today is a product of who we were, what we’ve done, and the choices we’ve made along the way. That can be either a beautiful thing or a painful one. One thing is certain: we are not the same people we were many years ago. Through it all, time remains an unstoppable force. It keeps moving as we live, and it doesn’t pause for anyone.

There are some moments in life when things happen and we find ourselves wishing we could turn back the hands of time — maybe to make a better decision, avoid a painful outcome, or simply do things differently. This is exactly why this topic is so interesting to me — I’ve personally had that thought many times. If life were to give me back 10 years, the best part would definitely be having my current memories with me and being fully aware of every action I take.

If this were to happen and I woke up one day ten years in the past, I would be filled with so much gratitude. That would literally be a second chance at life and an opportunity to make better decisions. However, it wouldn't be as easy as it sounds, because as much as I would love to change certain things in my life, there are also so many things I wouldn’t want to change for anything in the world. And somehow, both sides are deeply intertwined, all a product of my life’s decisions up to this point.

Well, still having my memories would allow me to make better decisions overall, but I might not alter too many things — I would just do things better. Imagine if I changed the university I went to; I’d be living a completely different life, studying a different course with totally different people. As much as that might make sense, the university I attended contributed so much to who I am today.

Instead of changing it entirely, I would simply make better use of the opportunity. I’d read more than I did, connect more with certain people, avoid some others, and just be more intentional all around.

Also, I would definitely make better financial decisions. I’d find money and invest in Bitcoin or some coins I know would yield returns in the future — which is now. I'd start web 3 earlier and with the knowledge I have right, I would know the kind of projects to invest in. My life would literally be set in that aspect.

My point is that there are some things I would change, and there are some things I wouldn’t dare to change. However, it’s going to be tricky since I don’t know where my new choices would lead me — and that’s the crazy part of it all. I can’t even be too careful, so I don’t end up making more mistakes in the process. I just know that I would make better choices, make better use of my opportunities, and hopefully, that brings me to a better present.
