That's right. No typo there. (Actually it's a song lyric). But it got me thinking. If I had the choice, what would I have done differently in my life. Would I have changed anything. Would I have been a man? Would I have been brought up in Florida? Knowing what I know now, what would have changed. This may sound like an advanced philosophical idea that only Plato or someone of his calibre would consider, but what the hell. I think I would continued to play organized sports growing up. I would stay a male. I definitely would have discovered alcohol and parties much earlier. On this side of brightness though, I am very happy with who I've become. Would I change some decisions I've made in the past? Would I have treated certain situations differently?
OF COURSE!
We are who we are thanks to the good and bad decisions we make in life. If no one made any bad choices, no one would learn anything. I learn something new about myself everyday. Some days more than others. Somethings having more weight than others. I'd apologize to anyone and everyone whom I ever wronged, called a bad name, or broke trust. I may not be getting any smarter as I age, yet I feel I get wiser everyday.
