Taking A Second Chance For Granted - My Thought on De-age

I won't lie, I've thought about going back in time before now so it felt like I was being asked a question I have always asked myself when I saw the topic. But you'd be shocked to know what I always wish to go back in time to do, it's nothing close to what a serious person would think. That is how unserious I've always been about reducing my age.

But then, the question comes up again! Would I reduce my age if I have the opportunity?

Why not! I would but trust me, I'll take this opportunity for granted again, it's impossible and I don't think I want to go back to try my luck in changing how my life is right now. I believe in one thing, "Everything happen for a reason" I may have lost my life long ago if something was different from what has happened but since I didn't do it or allow it to happen, I'm alive today.

In as much as I would love to go back to the time I found out that my mum has left us, I can't think of any way I would have helped so she could change her mind because I was just a child back then and maybe if she had stayed, a worse scenario would have been the case. This is not me being negative but appreciating my creator for everything that has happened to my life so far. Everything He allows to happen is for my own good.

I'd also love to go back to when I sat for my first jamb exam but didn't get the desired points because I didn't study enough. I would love to but I think I'm only going back to have a repeat of it because I may even become less focused considering the fact that I know better ways to make money without studying hard 😂 except you're saying I won't de-age with my present knowledge.

I would love to go back to the time I took crypto investment for granted, I would have been one of those talking about how many Bitcoin and ethereum I bought back then by now but no, I didn't even give that aspect of life a chance as it felt too good to real for me. I want to go back to correct it but no, I think I'll pass. I'm in a better position than I was back then and I know well enough to keep growing from here to not feel that I was late to the party.

I would like to go back to take back all the wrong decisions I made in the past especially the one I made when I was around 15 years old, I still feel regret from time to time about it. Can't give the details but it is definitely a decision I would love to take back. Yet again, it helped me know better how to handle my life so I think it happened for that reason and many more reasons.

I don't want to de-age because I'll take it for granted again, I'd love to use all I've learned and better my life instead. It's sure from my present thought that I can't take life for granted like I did in the past so I'll pass on such a second chance.

If we lost all of our current knowledge in the process, wouldn't we just do the very same thing over???

This woman said she didn't know how to write this. So, what do we have here? 👀👀👀

It's true that we might still not be as wise as we think we would be if we go back in time.

That's because most times it takes maturity and a certain level of understanding to make good decisions. Besides, if we go back in time and change anything, then everything else moving forward will change too.

So let's leave it at that. Instead of trying to de-age, let's make better use of opportunities in the future.

I still don't know what to write 👀

Exactly my point, even going back with the knowledge I have now might still not be a good idea in some aspects as it would be for some aspects of life.

Everything with an advantage has a disadvantage 🥲

I reflected on this topic as well and found out that I would have done better if I de-age 😂, but nah..forward ever ...we can still work hard to utilise the opportunity around and ahead of us. You that is crypto guru at young age...no need to de-age 😂, I should beat myself up for not knowing anything when I was younger...so much reasons to de-age for me like this 😂

Hmmm you know during that time you will think that what you are doing is so right to the extent that when someone call your attention to you might not listen to them.

And now that you realized that everything was all mistake it will pain you but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

You see God purposely don't allow such to happen because if He does we all will be perfect because when we realized our past mistake we will go back and correct it which means there won't be no experience that will teach us more

My dear, we're on the same page
We can't learn if we don't make mistakes.

And if we're going to get a chance to change those mistakes we made, where would we get the experience to know that we really shouldn't have done them? It's only logical that way.

Honestly, I don't the any reason why I should de age and that has left me confused on what to write about.

Our life is bound to imperfection, we have to learn from mistakes so I don't regret anything and I only wish I have taken some things seriously.

Every mistake give me a reason to do things differently and approach life with caution.

You couldn't have said it any better, that's where I stand too
It only makes sense that we make mistakes and learn from it, every other thing should be in our imaginations 😅

Yeah I think instead of going back in time it's better to just focus on the present and the future, working well on them and making the best use of them in other to have a fantastic result.

The issue of going back to when you never took cryptocurrency seriously is what got my attention. I have the same problem
Thanks for sharing.

Deage or no deage. Na you saabi. 😂. Me I will deage and get breastfed again. Take pampers and have my parents buy me biscuit and sweets. I won’t worry much about this crazy world. Even if it’s just for 1 month. I want my brain to settle small. 😆

Anyways you’ve said it all. Everything happens for a reason. And that’s why we are where we are today.

I'm with you, why would I want to go back after all the experiences I've gathered over the years for a better future, backward never, forward is the way.

You better stay where you are. I can't go around chasing a mini Merit online. I will use cane and finish your butt.

Going back in time is a big no for me. There are worst scenarios there I won't like to see again. I would like them to be changed but I can go back for them. They help groom me.

I like that you took an honest survey of yourself and came to a conclusion that you'd take de-aging for granted; many people would too.

Everything indeed happens for a reason and it's best to forge ahead and never look back.

Yeah, I use to think about it too, but it's something I'll never go into, it's not part of my plan anyways..😂
Just like you said, everything happens for a reason, if take the opportunity to De-age, I don't even know what I'll encounter, maybe it will be worse, it's better to keep the train moving..
