Turn Back Time

The TV turns off. I've just finished watching another amazing Harry Potter movie for the hundredth time: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The movie leaves me contemplating what if I could also turn back time, what if I could fix all mistakes, would I be happier? luckier? I push off those thoughts due to foolishness, yet two hours later, I still think of all the things that I would fix if I could back in time. Maybe I would have a better GPA, maybe I would still be friends with a few people, maybe I would lose a few, maybe... I think that this never-ending cycle of regret made me realize that no matter how hard I wish to turn back the clock and no matter how hard the experiences have been, they have shaped me into who I am today. They have taught me something special, making me a better, more mature person. As I look at my hardest moments, I can see how they have shaped my beliefs. I dont know what the effect of fixing all of my mistakes would be, but I do know that spending my time thinking of what would have happened is useless. Because it's over. Today is a new day! Its the first of the rest of your life. It can also be the beginning of a new chapter in your life.
