“365: Repeat the Year” is interesting. Life is never simple. It would be so awesome if you could reset and correct mistakes, erase tragedies, etc. But there is always that “unknown” element. If I “fix” the past, will it make the future better? Uuggg … I don’t know! It’s like the genie granting you three (3) wishes but not telling you that when you get what you wished for, you’ll wish that you didn’t wish for it!
