As a writer, you would imagine that C.S. Lewis could indeed change the beginning if he wanted to.

This is a nice phrase but how would anyone CHANGE the end if it has never happened? Perhaps a better word would be DECIDE or SHAPE

Can't upvote this enough... Spent a lot of my 20s wishing I could change things and make different decisions, but now I'm damn glad I wasn't able to because my 30s are significantly better than they would have been had I been able to make those changes.

You can't change whether you'll die or not, but you can change your attitude or other things in life that'll make you die happier or more content.

If this quote doesn't inspire you, then it isn't for you.

Sounds like you can totally change the beginning, then. Also not from C.S. Lewis

I have this on a sticky note on my computer. Itā€™s been there for 2 years. Right next to it is a note that says ā€œAll it takes is all you gotā€.

You can definitely get there! Believe me, I know the feeling. Heck, this time a decade ago I was working 100 hour weeks, $100k in debt, with few friends nearby, no family for 1k miles, migraines 3-4 days a week, a perpetual stomach ulcer from stress, and seemingly no end in sight. Literally regretted every decision I'd made every morning when I woke up... For the last few years though I couldn't be happier that I made those same decisions, and haven't wished that I could go back and step in to a different life in years... Things do turn around!

But they just don't fit the same.

Yeah I feel you, I'm 32 and things are rough, but the last few weeks i've been making changes and already have noticed some slight improvements. Am hoping a year from now things will be much better.

Nobody can change anything, choice is a fictional construct our minds evolved that has no bearing on reality

I actually discovered a way to change the beginning, but it's a secret.

I fuckin love that. Have never heard ā€œall it takes is all you gotā€ before. Itā€™s a battle staying clean and this describes getting through the tough days perfectly.

Still would be great if I got just a little bit of understanding and apology from the very people who raised me and therefore massively contributed to the many things i struggle with today.

We can change the ending to which we are headed now. It's a way of using the same word, change, to contrast two different ways of looking at life. Live in regret or bitterness, or decide today to change the future for the better.

Yes, rewrites are for fantasies and retellings only. Life does not have a backspace key.
