IC7 Immunity Challenge 7: The Time Machine
You have the chance to go back and fix the one great mistake of your life - to undo the one thing you wish most of all you had never done. What is it, and why do you want to change it?
Gee, only one? Whichever one do I choose? And if I change one, it will have a direct or indirect effect on the present.
I shouldn�t have gotten married at 15, but if I hadn�t, I wouldn�t have had my same children nor my grandchildren. I can�t imagine life without them. I would have stayed at home and God forbid how that might have turned out.
I shouldn�t have quit school that same year for the same reason, as my son was born when I was 17 and had I stayed in school, I would have wanted to go on to college.
I maybe should have stayed in the service, but on September 11, 2001, having an MOS of interpreter, I would more than likely have been stationed at the pentagon.
My previous marriage, (not my first) could easily be wiped out. But no, even that was a learning experience. From that I learned (reinforced) the fact that anger and violence are not the solution and that I was worth more. It taught my children that you don�t stay in a situation that is unhappy or unhealthy. And it taught my daughter that nobody has a right to make her feel unworthy or take away her self respect.
I maybe shouldn�t have switched jobs so often after my kids were grown, but through that I got to travel, meet new people and finally do many of the things I had been denied for so long. Never would I have spent winters in Florida, summers on the lake and lived five years of adventure that I enjoyed so much.
No, I think that our lives today are a direct result of the choices we made yesterday. Since my life is wonderful right now, I wouldn�t really want to mess with the past. So if I must change one thing, perhaps it would be last night's dinner. Those short ribs gave me killer heartburn. THAT I could have lived without.
Later,
Cosmic
