The fact that time-traveling is impossible is what keeps us going with nurturing such thoughts, preventing us from actually doing anything to improve ourselves. It's an unsafe harbour...

Love this Matt. I get lost in that fantasy/ reverie all the time. Not a very productive place. Not a very happy one either
