Prompt 6

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be, and what would you do if later on you changed your mind?

Some people would say that "Everyone has something to change about themselves".  But... what would I change?

I'm not honestly sure. Maybe I would change my study habits. Or maybe my eating habits. But... I don't think that's really what this question is asking. These things that I say 'I would change' are things that, really, I can change. I can change the ways in which I study for classes. I can change what, when and how I eat. But is this question really asking that? Isn't it really asking "what would you change about yourself that you can't actually change?"

I'm sure most people would say something about changing an event in their past. Or changing themselves in the past. Well, I can't really say that I would change anything in my past. I wouldn't change anything about how my life has gone, because I honestly, truly love where I am in life right now. Why would I change something that would change how I got to be where I am, and who I am? I wouldn't. That's my honest answer. I wouldn't change a thing about my past that brought to be here. I wouldn't change a thing about my past that's made me who I am. I'll admit I'm not perfect, but I'd like to think I didn't turn out half bad.

I like who I am. I like where I've been and what I've done to get to be where and who I am. I know I've had some bad experiences, and I've done some not-so-great things... But would I want to give up the experiences I've gotten?

I wouldn't. I think if I did change something about myself, I would instantly regret it and want to change myself back. But assuming that you were not able to change your self back, I'd be stuck with that, and I'm not even comfortable with the thought of that.

So I guess my answer would have to be, officially, that I wouldn't change a thing about myself. I wouldn't change who I am or where I've been or what I've done. Everything that makes me me, is because of the choices I've made and the places I've been and the people I've interacted with. I wouldn't change even a split second of my life.
