Turning Back Time...

Last weekend, I saw the Zac Efron movie 17 Again with my good friend Lei. Well, we're not really Efron fans however, we were looking for a feel good movie and the Efron movie was said to be a cheesefest so it was the perfect choice. The other option was Friday the 13th and we weren't really in the mood to get scared that day.

So the movie is definitely something you have seen before... Think Never Been Kissed or 13 Going 30 and movies of the like... Basically, it's about getting a second chance in life, going back to the part when you thought you made the worst life-altering decision that turned your world upside down. The decision that you have lived to regret every single day of your life.

The movie will make you think. If ever you get the chance to go back to a specific point in your life... Rewind your life and then go to the part when you think you made the wrong choice. Only this time, you already know the outcome of the 1st option but you now have the 2nd option which you have lived to think should have been your choice all along. Will you do it? Again, this was the life-changing decision you have lived to regret.

I thought about it... and yes, there are definitely decisions made that could have been better had I known what the outcome would be. There are regrets on what might have beens have I chosen the "would be" better option. A lot of tsk tsks on knowing the moment you made the decision, you should have opted to pick the other choice. But then, that's a part of life, right?
And I think it's one of the best parts of living. You live, you learn.

Every mistake you make will be the lesson you earn.

So if given the chance to turn back time and live my life differently... would I do it? The idea is very tempting but I will have to say NO.

I have made bad decisions but at the time I made those decisions, they were the right ones for me. They were the choices that made sense and made me happy.

We only liVe life once and we just have to maximize each day. Good or bad decisions, Don't live to regret each one made.
