if you're given the opportunity, would you go back in time to relive your life? would you do things differently?
i would like to go back, but only to the part of my life that i thought were happy times with my family, especially with my mother. i would not change anything, just experience it again.
when i was four or five, our father's aunt who raised him died. i remember my mother dressing me and my sister in identical white dresses and pinning a black ribbon on the left side of our breasts. at the cemetery during the internment, i wandered away from the group as i couldn't see anything anyway being so small. my mother found me in front of a tomb where an older lady was sat. i don't remember talking to the lady but when my mother saw me, she had a panic look in her eyes and tugged me away. growing up, i asked my mother two separate times if she remembered that incident. both times she told me i could not have remembered it because i was so young. maybe it's a trick of the memory but there are times i look in the mirror now that i am older and i would think of that incident and somehow i thought that the woman looked like me now. sometimes when i think about it, maybe i did go back. or maybe i just haven't had dinner yet that's why i have all these ideas in my head.🤣

Yes, there are some things I'd like to go back to- but I don't think I'd do it. Coming back to the present after visiting with my parents or grandparents would make me even sadder.
Fantastic image. Very mystical. We read a book for book club recently called The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It deals with the theme of what if I'd done something differently, where would my life have taken me. A good read and thought provoking too.
