No Thanks, I’ll Keep the Year I’ve Got

If you could relive one year of your life, which one would it be?

Truth is, I wouldn’t.

Because unless I did exactly the same things, I’d change everything that came afterwards. Basic string theory, space-time continuum stuff…

Besides, I spend my time looking forward.

Everything behind me happened for a reason. The good, the bad and the downright bloody awful made me who I am.

Life’s a journey, not a rerun.

And if you spend too much time staring into the rear-view mirror, you’re far more likely to crash.

So I’ll keep looking forward, thank you very much.

Stay safe,

Bc

About Bob W Christian

Bob W Christian has been writing poetry for more than 20 years. He started as a way to help to process his thoughts and emotions as an autistic man, and to address the impact of CPTSD. As he wrote, and slowly gained the confidence to share his poems, he was given incredibly positive feedback, which spurred him to write more. During that time, he has written six books, and had numerous guest publications in books and magazines around the world. His work has earned several accolades recently, including recognition in the Dark Poet’s Club 2025 competition. Alongside poetry, Bob enjoys photographing nature and birds, and is often praised for his keen eye behind the lens. (One of the official photographers Torbay Pride 26) A husband, father and grandfather, he regularly shares his observations, reflections and creative work through his personal blog, The Ramblings of Bob Christian.
