I'd go back, because then you'd know what'd happen up to the present day! ...if you go into the future you're still clueless about what'll still happen, no matter how far into the future you are!
Dropping writing and drawing because my mom wanted to send me to a mental hospital, moving out to live with an abusive boyfriend when I was 18, burning all kinds of bridges and getting fired from multiple jobs, stuff like that
Going back in time would be interesting, going forward would scare me. Is there a limit on our time traveling? What if you go past the beginning of time, or even worst and go forward witness the "theoretical end" of the universe. D:
Hm, I wouldn't do either, I'd be afraid I'd screw up time. x) But if I were forced to choose, I'd go into the past, just to see if some of these events in history really happened like they say they did.
Me, I have zero interest in going forward in time. I wanna go back! Back to different time periods/years. I think it could be a lot of fun.
