Re: Time travel question
(Anonymous) 2024-09-21 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)There's lots of stuff in my past I would change if I could, but knowing how it ended up doesn't mean I could change most of it, so I wouldn't want to actually time travel.
In my case I knew at the time that things were bad and would get worse and said so and it didn't help. Both my parents (various flavors of traumatized, mentally ill, and addicted) still continued to deteriorate physically and mentally and died horrible early deaths.
I wouldn't magically have insurance to get help with my own issues, either. I'd just know for sure rather than suspect that everything was gonna go to hell.
Maybe if seven year old me walked into my old living room with a giant file box of police reports, hospital discharge paperwork, two death certificates, and, idk, a modern smartphone still magically connected to 2024 wifi and said "hey, you guys need to work your shit out or it will get so, so much worse and also hey mom your dad just tried to kidnap and rape his paper delivery boy so the not airing dirty laundry's not working, I just poured your vodka down the sink again*, stop buying meth to lose weight please, and also dad I know the shingles and sting ray combo sucks ass but please throw away the OxyContin prescription before you start hearing voices" like a very small Dickens ghost it might've headed the worst off?
*I did this all the time as a kid and it changed nothing, but hey, force of habit.
