This year, my theme for the challenge is Strange Feelings: weird and possibly made up words to describe feelings we all have. I'll let you guess if the word is real or not.
Enouement
––the desire to go back in time and tell your past self about the future
Dear Diary,
If only I knew then what I knew now. That would have saved me soooooooo much stress and pain. I wouldn't worry about so many things because I'd know in the future things would be okay. Like Basil. Man, he was a jerk. I can see that now. He's not important though. You know what I need? A Tardis to travel back in time and tell myself about today. How great I feel and how happy I am to have certain things be over. Hindsight, am I right, Diary? To find out more about the April A to Z Blogging Challenge and join the fun click here!

We all wish that we could go back and change things in the past - do things a little differently - or a lot differently. All that worrying we do as teenagers - to know that when we grow up it really isn't important and for me anyway, that everything works out fine. All the best with the rest of the challenge 4/5/2017 05:39:42 pm
It looks like a real word to me, maybe French. I love the definition. If only I could go back and warn myself before I made the wrong choices. 4/5/2017 06:04:14 pm
I think I'd go back in time and kick my @$$ for all the stupid stuff I did. 4/5/2017 06:07:46 pm
If I did, I don't think my past would believe what I was telling it. What I thought I might do and what I actualy did are like two diffent lives! 4/5/2017 06:10:36 pm
I learned a new word! I actually keep a journal where I write to my past and my future self this post just made me think about that journal I have. Should call mt my Enouement Journal (at least the part addressed to my past self) 4/5/2017 07:55:42 pm
Enouement ... Ah! I would have loved to do that!! Wish that was possible :) 4/6/2017 12:17:26 am
I do sometimes wish for that. I would correct the mistakes I did in past. 4/6/2017 04:37:08 am
I always fancied a TARDIS when I was younger, but the more I think about it, the more I think that I would be the kind of time traveler who mucked up the timeline, I'd do a Dorothy and land the TARDIS on my own great grandmother, or something like that ;)
I have changed my comments twice before I posted and in the end decided even if I had this desire and the actual power to do it I wouldn't use it. What if it changed my actions, which impacted the future I currently have? 4/6/2017 05:55:10 am
The problem is that I can almost guarantee that no matter what you told your old self to do, they wouldn't do it. I know I wouldn't have. Most people hate being told what to do, especially young people. 4/6/2017 06:06:48 am
Yeah, if only we knew then what we know now... Happy A-toZ-ing.

I wish this all the time. Having been super awkward and nerdy in high school, I sometimes daydream about going back with what I know now, and rocking it :D :D 4/6/2017 09:12:35 am
With me going back to the past is usually no further than yesterday, to stop myself saying something inappropriate before I say it. Sigh! 4/6/2017 01:40:12 pm
Considering how a few people saw my doppelganger when I was in high school, I sometimes wonder if in the future I will go back in time and try to tell my past self something. :) 4/7/2017 12:00:57 am
I read somewhere that if you had the opportunity to go back, you'd probably do the same thing again, according to the mental/psychological 'head space' you're in at that particular time of your life. 4/9/2017 05:08:20 am
Yeah, even if I could go back and warn my younger self about the future or whatever problem, I'm pretty sure my younger self would have A.) ignored me and carried on anyway, or B.) listened to me, but then made a different but equally stupid/silly/whatever mistake(s). There's no avoiding it, it's all part of the journey. :) 4/17/2017 12:59:11 am
Oh yes. I'd love to that (and also give my past version a kick for not reading your awesome posts earlier!) Leave a Reply. |
