Thread: Tell Me About The One Thing You Would Change

Including the impossible? If I could have done anything, I would have made myself not have scoliosis. Without scoliosis, I never would have had surgery.

Yes, including the impossible. I like your answer. Scoliosis blows, I have it myself and have been told I'll need surgery within the next few years.

I would have done things differently. Too late for that.

Done what things differently? I want to know everyone's secrets.

I would have been born some generations earlier.

If it's possible, avoid it. I honestly didn't mind my scoliosis, I hardly noticed it. I only got the surgery because I was told I'd have a horrible painful future without the surgery. Well, I've had chronic pain since the surgery, so a lot of good that did. If you haven't already done physical therapy and/or yoga, try them. They can actually help. If you already have chronic pain, I guess surgery isn't a bad option. I would never, never, recommend it for anyone who doesn't have pain.

Then again, from what I've read online, I have had a slightly worse experience than others. A lot of people want to get the surgery primarily to look more 'normal.' In my case, fixing my uneven shoulders and hips that I hardly noticed wasn't a benefit. There was nothing for me to be happy about.

But really, look into yoga/PT. They can only help!

become female

To prevent OCD from developing in my youth, or ever developing in the future. Let's hope I don't get another anxiety disorder because OCD wasn't there.

Reality: I would want to change my outward appearance to fit the needs of those viewing me, but not change who I am.

"in grey"
You are such an artist...it breaths life into your blood. Beautiful.

Too much, but foremost.

I would try and prevent me from collapsing within myself. But than I'm like 'Yesterday is gone, today will be the new yesterday and tomorrow is for tomorrow' nuff sed.

I want blond leg and body hair instead of the dark course hair I was cursed with. lol Other than that, so far, I live without regret or the desire to change things that I can not. Our decisions and mistakes make us who we are. It our choice how we allow them to alter us today and ultimately in this we find their significance.

My lack of super powers is extremely disappointing

I've thought about this before... I can't think of anything that I would change that wouldn't completely alter the course of my life. I'm glad that I've met the people I've met and done the things that I've done. If I changed anything about my life, I would have missed out on something, sometime.

If I changed anything about myself, I would be someone different than who I am right now.

But I WOULD like to be a Jedi... I've always wanted to be a Jedi.

I would change our financial status and of course this emptiness feeling.

I decided to come back and change my answer to nothing at all.

This is a tough one because our life shapes who we are... and all that jazz.

It's likely if given the oppurtunity I would make myself really attractive girl that was in perfect health.
(instead of being a sickly unattractive male)

I know this is cheesy but I wouldn't change anything about myself from a realistic point of view (i.e. appearance, personality, background, etc.) and I try not to regret any of the choices I've made. I guess I'd sort of see it as cheating or something.

I would, however, love some superpowers.

I would go back to that time when my granny is still alive and I would say sorry and give her a hug.

Me and my granny had a huge fight(family matters) and she died without even me talking to her not even a single word

Turn myself into an immortal super intelligent robot. My biggest goal in life is to live forever, and so I plan on doing this anyway. The technology is still years away but if I survive long enough I am so going to be an immortal robot.

I'd do pretty much everything differently, I'd be more assertive, think more before I do things, try and hide my thoughts a little more but express my emotions a little too. But most of all I'd change my mind. I just wish I were normal.

not live in the country I live in, i guess moving countries is not that hard but I'm in a stage in my life where its kind of difficult to change my life that drastically. so sometimes I just wish i was born in another country. hint hint: my country is a war stricken country that is regularly featured on the news

As a child, I was nice to most people. No reason to hate or fear them.
Then experience taught me that peoples appearances do not show what is truly inside.

Change to myself would not matter.
I would change every person on the planet to look exactly like their persona.
If a person were kind, their face would show this in their beauty.

Some of the crulest people I have ever met, look like models.
But with this change, they would look exactly like they should.

I would want to have the power to fly in real life. If I could change only one thing and it could be anything at all that's what I would want, but I would also want to change everyone else so they too could fly in real life if they want to because I would not want to be that different from others, plus knowing how many people would want to fly, I wouldn't think it were fair if I could but others could not.
