An Alternate Reality

You are forced to make decisions everyday. Some are seemingly unimportant; others are dramatically life-changing. Like a tree, which branches divide and spread, you transcur through life constantly changing paths and making mistakes. Life is usually grey and not black and white; the right choice is not always clear. You frequently take the easy road instead of the hard road because the outcome seems to be the same. In the same way as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can have catastrophic results, your decisions shape your life making you who you are. And sometimes, you are too late to realize that you have made the wrong choice one too many times, and even if you repent, you cannot change the past.

Here, everyone has a red button on his or her wrist with the word RESTART written on it. You are free to go back to whichever moment in your life that you desire. You can make all of your dreams come true. Live a different life every time, become the President, be an astronaut, anything.

However, in order to stop the world from becoming over populated, everyone can only live for one hundred years. You can live all those years in any way you want. You can live as a child, careless and free, or try to do as many things as you like. If you live the same day repeatedly, or "re-live" as you will start to call it, it will count as a new day each time; and after those a hundred years pass, you will die no matter your age.

You must be careful, for you can only re-live past things. As you grow old and become a sixty-year-old man, you realize that you want your youth back. You return to the time when you were fifteen. Then, you decide that you would rather be twenty instead, but you soon comprehend that you cannot fast-forward. You are stuck as a fifteen-year-old and most wait for the years to pass to grow old again.

I'd very much appreciate it if you could please help me conclude the story, since I think it reaches quite an abrupt end
