OK, let's say that somehow, you were offered the opportunity to start your life over again. You'd have memories of your current life, but only to the extent in which you could understand them, depending on how young you chose to start over, and your stage of brain/bodily development: if you chose to start at 2 or 5, clearly, you might not yet be able to grasp the meaning of all your memories. Myself, I would very much like to start over again. Adulthood is over-rated. I have worked far too many hours, for little money, and at jobs that hold little meaning, and am often stiff, sore, hopeless, broke and depressed, with the feeling it's too late to turn things around. For a person into literature and poetry, the post college world has been very difficult. All the world seems to value are things like computers and tech stuff and business and things that hold no interest for me. True, I have had a partner of many years, for which I am thankful...and yet, I miss how I felt when I was younger, and all in all, I'd say I had more time and more freedom to explore the things that mattered most to me, than I do now. So, would you start over? And at what age? Me, I'd say 7...those were some very good times, and in hindsight, I'd be able to avoid certain mistakes (hopefully), and relive things during some times when my body felt better that it ever will again, the world felt fresh, and also, I'd start dating sooner, my main regret of my early teen years...was too homophobic to try, back then. Edit: Forgot a no option! Or a checkbox. Sorry. (I suppose if you're younger IRL, you could also opt to jump ahead, and be older...why, I would have to wonder)
