If I could trade places with anyone, from anytime, quiet honestly, I would not. My life experiences have made me the person I am today with my own little quirks and idiosyncrasies. I am happy with my life and looking forward to what lays ahead. Most importantly, my life comes from my own decisions and experiences. I have control over it, and what direction I want it to go.
I am the person I am today because of the things I have gone though: abuse, extreme poverty, living on the streets. I have my scars from each of these situations but I have come through each stronger and with new rules by which I live my life. I like the person I am and to give up everything I have survived, built, and decided to pursue, feels like I am betraying my future and myself. To pick someone else’s life to lead, it feels like I am saying that my own life, is not, and will never be, as grand as someone else’s. I am not ready to say that.
