If you had to pick one day in your life that you could relive/revisit what would it be? (You would gain the ability to relive/revisit this day whenever you desired and when you're done you would return to your life as is).

For me it's a tough choice, but a few contenders for where I would pull 1 day from:

March 2016: Ignoring the fact this is when BFC went down, this was probably peak college for me. Between all I was involved with, going on a great volunteer trip for Spring Break, and college being just right with busyness + simplicity it would be nice reliving one of these days.

Universal Studios Trip - May 2019: I always have great times at Universal Studios and this was a nice family trip. Besides all the general stuff at the parks, spending some time with family, and just getting away from life it was a fun time.

Super Smash Con - 2022: My first supermajor in Smash that I got to go with some friends on. Not only was it a fun road-trip, but I got to meet some friends/a close friend irl that I only knew online. I did pretty solid overall going 2-2 in both Singles + Doubles and even got on stream (I didn't win this stream set, but can't complain). The whole trip was a fun time and while it was a long drive for a yearly tradition, I can now tell why people think SSC is the best Smash major.

But what about you, what day or range of days would you choose to revisit?

This is hard since I can't change the events etc. The first few weeks of college though is the only period I'd love to relive. I studied music and the first few weeks were a fuck about with us just having impromptu jam sessions with random musicians and the nights out were epic

I don’t remember the exact day but it was August 2017…
Me and this girl who I wanted for soooo long were finally getting intimate with each other.. all that gushy stuff.
That day we were gathered at my house for festivities hosted by my parents. After some hanging out, we sneak off to the basement living room and start getting to it!
Literal seconds before we decide to go to my room, my mom says some friends of mine have arrived… I was flabbergasted. I totally forgot I invited them… and then they arrive at the worst time possible. I still could have sped off with her and disregarded my friends until later but I couldn’t be rude and just leave them… so eventually she left and I was left sad, with the homies tho lol

I’d kill to go back to that day… cause after that, there was never really any spark or opportunity for me to secure a lady like her… but life goes on!

I actually needed time to think about this one, lol.

2017 DCI (basically "professional" marching band) Finals - The end of the summer with some of the kindest and most awesome people I've met. That summer was hardworking and just all around beautiful - making new connections and being able to become a part of a brotherhood (I marched Cavies for anyone who actually knows what DCI is). I just remember standing in the tunnel, waiting to go on for our final performance. I had tears just streaming down my face because I knew I wouldn't see a majority of these people ever again. I definitely gave this performance my all, even after spraining my ankle towards the end of the show. I gave it my all because my audience deserved that, and I definitely didn't spend a whole summer to not tough it out.

2017 initiation night for my fraternity - Man what a long semester of college this was, lol. I was taking some classes again because I was a dance major and you can never have too much practice on your technique. I definitely didn't take it for granted - I'd day drink all day the same day I had my meeting at night. So many ups and downs and learning (again) what brotherhood meant and how much you have to work together and encourage each other to be the best version of yourself. ANYWAYS I basically got super drunk before initiation and passed out once everyone was ready to hit the bars. lmaooo I would love to relive this just so I can drink a little less and actually hang with a new group that I could call my brothers.

I'll do a happy and a sad one. I'd like to go back to a time when my dog was still around - she was ever-present during my childhood and I'd definitely spend a day taking her for walks, pets etc. My second one would be a day back at uni as although I see my uni mates every now and then I don't think there's going to be a time when we're all together again, they live around the world - Australia, Singapore, Europe etc.

That sounds pretty great, just nights where you have nothing to worry about do be great.

Honestly understandable, I could totally get wanting to relive or try to change that moment in particular.

2017 sounds like it really was the year of Tharon.

Aw damn that is bittersweet. It makes you yearn for those times again, but on the other hand it's great you have the memories for looking back on.

I'll try to recall and list a few of them, though my memory is pretty crap:

16th birthday: literally the best birthday I ever had. Family took me to discovery cove, I got to swim with dolphins and feed stingrays and it was just overall a really great time. Last time I remember my parents being happy together as well.

January - June of 2013 (I know this isn't a specific day but no one day in this period could have changed how this worked out and I desperately wish I could go back to this period so I'm including it): This id the final period of my time when I was in the military. I was loaded down with depression due to my family breaking up and a number of other things that was going on at the time, and I wasn't trying as hard as I should have. One memory that is burned into my mind forever is my sergeant helping me look my best for my conversation with the Lt. Colonel about my lacking performance. He looked me in the eyes and he said to me 'I really wish you were dressing up to get a commendation.' Those words just stabbed me in the fucking heart and I desperately wish I could go back and try harder, change how things worked out, because even if I didn't like being in the service that much I would move mountains if people had the faith in me to do so, and I was in such a beaten down-state I couldn't live up to my superior's expectations, and that honestly kills me inside.

Universal Studios Trip 2011: When I was in the service back in 2011 me and a couple of squadmates went to Universal Studios in California for Halloween Horror Nights, and it was a great time! It really marked the occasion where I sort of got over my fear of roller coasters and most things considered 'scary' because I had such a good time despite the 'scary' atmosphere and everything dark going on there. I remember there was this ongoing joke about it always being my birthday, so while we were getting chased out of a haunted house by a dude wielding a chainsaw they all simultaneously shouted 'Happy birthday TGM!' and the chainsaw guy did a double take at me then abandoned them and came rushing for me, making me scream like a little girl. Great fucking times lmao. First time I really came out of my shell.

Ooh good choices for the discovery cove and Universal Studios. The middle section sounds rough, but I could understand wanting to go back to to see if you could change how things played out.
