Only if I could remember every detail of every situation I get into. That way I could sort out a number of situations...I'd also tell myself to work out more

Absolutely not. I'd remember things best left forgotten, there would literally be years of my life where I would be a complete invalid until I developed the fine motor control necessary to take care of myself, and it would be YEARS before "grown-ups" would take me seriously for the things that I said and not just dismiss me because I haven't gone through puberty yet.

Besides, I'm well on the way with this life, why the hell would I quit to restart now? Did I miss an achievement or something?

If when I die, I am asked if I would like to be reincarnated one earth with my prior knowledge.. Or spend eternity in paradise...

I'd choose relive, then the second time around, choose paradise.

If Its just right this minute.
No, life is good, I have no intention of restarting.

With all the same knowledge I have now? Hell yes, I would. There's a lot I would do in just the same way, of course, but there are a couple of things I'd do very, very differently... like most of high school, plus starting earlier on building the skills I'm now building for the career I want. And being a better person, too (or at least pretending).

It would be odd, though, navigating through the currents of life to find my girlfriend... again. Who would know nothing about me, although I would know everything about her. Huh - that one might be tough.

OT: Yeah, if only because I keep remembering frustrating fuck ups that literally zone me out for five minutes at a time thinking about them.
You too? Gods below, I thought I was alone. I HATE that. Being paralyzed by the six year-old memory of that time I accidentally told that one roommate of mine she wasn't hot, or physically flinching at the memory of something stupid I said back when I was like 15 - I could do without that.

Yes. Without doubt, I would redo my life.

It's not that I've made any major mistakes it's just that I've made so many little ones, and each tiny mistake I've made just wedges itself in my head and drive me crazy. Not only that but all the opportunities I've missed, all the times I could have spent on more productive things.

So yes, I would redo my life in a heartbeat.

It's a pity that there is no emoticon for a wistful smile...
It is. I mean there is one for Kirby. <( '.' )^

Anyways, I was reading and I found a quote that says, "No matter how long you live, the first twenty years of your life will seem the longest."

I don't know. Probably. I don't particularly have a lot of regrets but being 21 years smarter than everyone else throughout childhood would certainly give me a huge edge. Plus I would have more time to learn and develop skills (for example at this point in time I would have collectively 18-20 years of guitar under my belt as opposed to 6)

Here's the thing: If you go back with the knowledge you know right now, then fix some problems i your life, chances are more problems will appear because of the fixed problems. Yes, it's complicated, but time travel is some complicated stuff.

For me I wouldn't, because my life has been virtually perfect so far.

Yes. I think when you get older (I am 36) you start to reflect more on what might have been. If you had asked me this same question at 20...I would have said no...that I am who I am and changing the past would be unfair/immoral. I used to take the Temporal Prime Directive to heart, but after bearing the scars of my bad decisions and traumas...the TPD can *expletive deleted* :)
