    Seriously? Commit die.

    I’m not doing all this all over again.

    Sure there are definitely things I’d like to have done differently but there are other things that I have no idea how I pulled off. One small change at 6 could so radically change my life that I wouldn’t recognize it any more.

    And a 35 year old stuck in a 6yr olds body just sounds awful. You would know and understand so much more than your peers, your innocent child’s mind has been replaced with the cynicism of reality…

    It would be a living hell.

    It would be 8 years at minimum before you could have a meaningful conversation with any peers, and you’d still be “that weird kid” to everyone.

    I don’t know how I’d do it, but I wouldn’t be able to deal with it. Just the knowledge that I’d probably never meet my wife and my son would be gone forever would be too much to bear.

    Sorry for the downer of a reply.

      I agree 100%. Whenever I think about having a chance to go back in time, I always think I’d do it but then I’d start to really think about it and came to the same exact conclusion that you did.
