Little things here and there like the kissing girl you mention but on the whole, no. Life is good and I am thankful for that. *knocks on wood*

Yeeaa. My life is already over. If I could start over I'd come back STRONGER, FASTER, AND BIGGER!

No, I worked too hard to get to where I am now, I'd hate having to go through school again. While I do miss some aspects of childhood and get nostalgia feelings I would not want to go back and start over.

Though I find now time goes by way too freaking fast. I feel like I don't have enough time left to accomplish anything big, because a year feels like a month. I'm going to be 30 soon, that's depressing.

Only back to the point where my younger daughter was born. (age 33)

I'd never wish either of my kids away to make myself happy.

Yes, but not from birth. You'd just end up reliving everything you couldn't control during your childhood. If I could start again at 14, and have enough memory or at least prescient intuitiveness to change how the rest of my childhood into adulthood would be - then definitely yes.

What if the reboot included you rebooting into a whole new body.
Male or female.
America or Africa or Italy or China or (shudder) Canada?

only if I could be born in a different place and time and into a different family, otherwise probably not.

Definitely not. Things are great and I wouldn't gamble what I have especially considering some of the points where things could've taken a very bad trajectory.

I wouldn't mind jumping back to when Bitcoin was < $10 though.

Married? Kids?

And don't worry. Alot of people in 2 years will be saying .... I wouldn't mind selling my Bitcoins when Bitcoin was > $100 though. Bitcoins have no underlying value. People got lucky. That;s it. LUCK. You could also have stories of people loosing 410K on Bitcoins but people got lucky. I've seen this many times in my 40 years. It's just the new Beanie Babies!
