Hindsight is 20/20

I got a writing prompt for today and it was "if you could go back in time and change anything, what would it be" and I was very conflicted because everything that has happened, even the bad-stuff, has turned out to teach me something or bring something new to me. That being said, in my thought experiment, I was able to pick two incidents. One time when I didn't go back and contest the outcome of an exam, and one time when I lost a family member to suicide. I don't know exactly what I could have done differently, though that wasn't part of the question. Still, I am who I am today because of what happened yesterday. So I think I will probably leave time-travel to the professionals. Also, I decided to write my poem in the form of a sonnet today. Just because.
