It always depresses me to see people fantasize about how they might have lived their life differently. You are a superposition of your genes and your history. If you dream of changing the latter, you must not love the person you have become. Even tiny adjustments would send you off on a completely different path... and people dream instead of huge, important adjustments. That person would not be you. Is that really what you wish for?
