If you could go back in time, how far would you go? (page 3)

I would go back to when my great grandmother was alive. She died when I was 8 and I remember her very well, but she never told us about her life. I found out a few years ago that she was Native American. I would have asked her all the questions that I have now, and would love to have the answers for.

Right after having my third child--I didn't work hard enough on getting my old body back and I've been struggling with my weight ever since.

I'm breaking the rule--I would go back to 1942 and figure out a way to take my mom away from my abusive grandmother. My mom did not get to be a kid--I would give that back to her!

If I could take the mind I have now with me I would go back to the age of 5.I would not go with the stranger to the bathroom.Where I was raped.I would not befriend my molester.I would study hard in school.I would go to collage.I would not get baptized.I would not start smoking.I would be diagnosed with my learning disorder when it would do some good for me.I would move out of my parents house at 18 and not look back.I would not feel evil for not beleiveing in the LIE.

I would be a better daughter and be nicer to my parents.I would not let my Mom make me feel guilty for not feeding her.I would not take over when my Mom got so depressed she laided in bed for 5 years.I would be a kid like I was suposed to be.I would learn to do math really well even if I needed a tutor.I would enjoy being a kid when I'm supposed to.I would have worldly friends.

All though theres a lot of things I would change if I had the chance I have come to accept the things as they are.I like my self now because I've been through a lot.It's tough to learn to like your self and without all of these things who know where I would be in my life.I think the biggest thing I would change is baptizem.Because I had a choice in that and had I beleived in my instincs I would not have done that.That was the one thing I could have stopped.

I believe when things happen in your life you can either accept them and move on or be a victom for life.I will not let myself be a victom ever again.So don't feel sorry for me.I don't not really.I like who I am now.I am stronge and happy for the first time ever.I'm in love for the first time ever.I have a bf that I really feel like I can let in without being hurt.

Yeah, nice post Noni. You sound strong and on your way!

Now that I am stronger today I would like to go back and re-do a few scenes in my life and stand up to some mistreatment. Boy I sure would. I'd like to see the look on their faces when the new me disguised as the old me speaks up to defend myself and deliver the royal coup d'etat!!
My history would be different if I was given the support and guidance and skills to be a more confident person.

But hey, whatever. What matters is now.

I would return to 1987 and put a boot up the a$$ of the brutha that I have known for 30 years who shuns me today. I didn't know he was a JW until he offered me a 'Free' 'Bible Study.'
