I would say there are limits to what one can easily achieve from their starting point in life, but your statement is so fatalistic that anyone who believes it might aswell stop trying and just give up on life.
Screw the space-time continuum, they only invented for a TV show. Relativity Theory says time travel is possible, you just have to move faster than the speed of light.
Worst choice of my life was being born with ADHD.
Really should have thought that one through better, but it seemed funny at the time to play on hard mode and strafe-jump through the tutorial.
As a kid I thought I’d buy chips all the time when I grow up, but I don’t. It’s just not the the same. Maybe it’s the crushing responsibilities of being an adult, maybe a money saving thing, I don’t know

“You were so great with all that but always had troubles focusing! You should’ve finished college rather or programmed those video games you love so much! You were always a night owl like me!” As she vibrates her leg so much her bfs used to yell at her about it, let alone me lol.
… Yeah mom. Yeah. Love you too.
Things are a whole lot better when you aren’t tired every morning and afternoon or aren’t clutching on bad drug/booze habits lol.
Fucking thank God for amphetamines though. Imagining if I had those in high school and beyond just makes me pissed lol.
No, no. It’s a hot mess because I made one very bad decision: to marry my highschool sweetheart who I thought I would enjoy her membership in the stupid slut club.
Turns out, you can’t fix stupid and true to the club, she broke my heart twice.

“Its often discussed that if you could go back in time, you could change one thing, and observe a huge change in the following events.
But we never consider that we have that same power right now, today. Actions now can influence a wide variety of future outcomes.”
With some self reflection you can be the time traveler of scifi.
