If i have a time machine , i will go back and correct all those mistakes of my youth....
But, on second thought, if i go back and correct them, then it won't really be me anymore. Since what i am now is the result of what i did back then.
If i go back, i may not be as strong because i wouldn't experience rough roads. I may not be as compassionate because i won't know the feeling of having nothing.
I wouldn't be a good parent if it was not for my parents' failures.
I wouldn't be as may pakialam to what's going on in my country cause i wouldn't have experienced being an OFW and a writer.
I wouldn't know how to love truly if i did not experience heartache.
So, no matter how strong the urge is and even if i would be given the chance to go back and alter the course of my future, i will not because my past made me what and who i am today. And i am proud of my choice.
