Life is not like a Remote

Can we rewind?

how hazardous would this be if we could? should be there a limit on how many times we could?

Maybe this is why we can't. because we would abuse the power. maybe that's why we can't have superpowers either. but that depends on your definition of superpowers.

So, when things don't go our way, we don't get that job, we failed that class, we bombed that performance, missed that plane, lost that friend or family member to death, or you get left by a love, you don't get to go back and do it over.

Instead we're left in pieces, like a broken mirror on the floor, and even trying to pick up the pieces, much less put them back together cuts us up even more. So we leave the pieces there and have to be constantly reminded of the pain every time look back and are faced with the reflection and sharp edges of the past.

So its a learning experience you say. Live, learn, move on. Whoever said it was that easy? They were on crack. or they've just never dealt with something that stuck with them no matter how hard they tried to shake it off. I'm not saying i've never learned and moved on from mistakes, but its like trying to say "forgive and forget", you may be able to forgive...but god is it hard to forget some people, places, events, or things.

In the end, I guess you can't mess with destiny. you fight like hell to prevent the worst, pull yourself out of the rubble of the disaster, and take the steps forward, because there is no such thing as going back.

Start over? Maybe. but don't mess with the forces-if its meant to be it will be. so just believe and take the thoughts, memories, and emotions one step at a time. I'm in control, no matter how hard it is to remember that some days.

I suppose there's a reason we can't fast forward either.....
