[ WP ] Someone discovers the secret to time travel and uses it to fix their mistakes , but is driven mad in their quest for perfection

The very first time I went back, I had to be careful. I was worried that I would ruin the events leading to me discovering the science behind time travel. So, I gave my plans to my former self, and hoped that he would achieve them earlier. 
 
 I had hoped that if I could bring the plans back to my earliest self that would be capable of carrying them through, and thus invent time travel earlier, giving me more time. This I achieved, however, my past self is much different from my current self. 
 
 The years I experienced in between my past self and current self were those that changed me. My beliefs evolved, I became more mature, and I valued different things. My past self was a completely different person. 
 
 So, when I went back to improve upon myself, I found that I was already changed. My past self tried to make me better in his image. I soon found my opinions changing as well.
