Person would have lived through whatever you changed, and that will be reality for them. Ex: You go back and convince Person to dye their hair blue. Y » Continue Reading
i have work in 7 hours, its 4 am, will i survive the workday, no, especially when majority of my time there is spent pretending to look busy. Time goes so slow when there's nothing to do but walk laps and organize aisles in a hardware store.
