If, for some unknown reason, I was given the choice to either turn back the clock and change something about my past or look into the future, I would probably choose changing the past.
I'm not sure exactly what I would change. It's hard to say that I would want to change anything; sure there are some things that I'm not proud, but they make me who I am today, and I don't want to change that.
I definitely don't want to look into the future though; I want it to be spontaneous. I don't want to know what tomorrow holds. If I already know how the rest of my life will go, I think that it might become rather boring. I feel that life is supposed to be a mystery and everything that happens is just part of life, so I don't want to waste my life thinking about whats going to happen to me in 30 years; I'd rather not know until it happens.
Since I chose the other option I suppose there are some things I would change about my past, namely great opportunities that I didn't pursue. For example, a couple years ago I was offered a chance to go to Bolivia to help build a school for a poor community. I have always regretted not going; it would have been an amazing experience that I would treasure for the rest of my life, but at the time I thought it was too expensive. If I could go back, I would have done it.
In all honesty, I don't believe time should be messed with; what happened has already happened, and what hasn't yet is going to. I think time is fragile, and not to be touched.
