Would you go back in time if you could? When would you go to?

[DitheringDillie]

I have an almost overwhelming longing for Times Past! I'd go to the early 2000's or the 90's. And would really try to make it last. Savour it all.

Youth definitely had some very difficult bits for me - but overall I just had such a sense of confidence about me.

Would you journey back in time? To what point, and why?

Before my parents divorced when I was about 12. Fab. I was so so happy, protected and safe.
Have never felt that since.

11th May 2002. I would have walked away and done things very differently. Instead, I ended up in a horrible relationship.

1996 - 2 years before my brother died I wish I'd made more time for him before he passed away in his early 20's.

Yeah, I'd have left DH.

I often think about time travel, I'm sure it will be possible one day!

If time travel was ever to be possible, there would be people from the past and future, here now. Maybe they are.

I would love to go to the 80s first and check whether creme eggs really were bigger and better or I'd I was just smaller and less discerning. Then I would like to redo my student days in the early 90s, but go to a different university and really make the most of it.
The only thing that worries me is that in doing even one little thing differently I wouldn't have my children and I would not swap them for anything. So it's good that I can't really.

I would go back to 29th of June 2012, I would bring my son home and keep him safe so that my other son doesn't find him dead on the 3rd of July.

I’d love to see 21st December 1846 at UCH in London, in my own life nothing because the first 40 years were shit today though I have bad days I’ve got dh.

1536 - love to have seen a Tudor

Anytime in the 1960's but only to see the Rat Pack perform in Las Vegas and would also like to have met Bobby Kennedy.

I'd love to revisit the autumn of 1980,when I turned 18. One of the best,most exciting times of my life.

I yearn (slightly not seriously) for the 1950s/60s when I was young. Life seemed so calm and simple. Not much tv, not many cars - the days were long and lazy - life seems frenetic now.

I would live the first year of my firstborn's life over and over and over. Physically I was a uncomfortable for much of it. But I was so very very happy!
Also 1999, the year I left school and had it all - a job, boyfriend, social life, GCSE results, I was on top of the world.
My first year of uni was incredible. As was my last. Loved every minute. Just so much fun!
And 2005. I got my 2:1, travelled around Europe with a bunch of friends and moved to South America.
But the year my first baby was born. I was just so completely happy.

The 60s/70s when I was young and carefree. I would probably do a few things differently if I could go back. I was a teenager in the 70s, it was a great time for me.

1990
I’d love to live my teenage years again. But like many have also said, with the knowledge I have now. Mainly around not caring what other people think and believing in myself.

1988 so I could dance all night at Shoom.

Late 80s, early 90s. Young, carefree, no internet, no mobiles, no reality tv wannabes (although I did love BB for the first 2 or 3 seasons), great music and a sense of having a whole lifetime to enjoy.

Hobbies, clubbing, girls holidays, the greatest friends, an amazing social life, grandparents still alive and my whole life ahead.

However I would love the wisdom I have now to take back with me.
