I don't like my health...but that is within my power to change. Other then that....oh sure....I'd love more money!! But I'm actually at a place of peace and acceptance in my life. For the most part.

I guess there is one thing I'd change. I would finally face my brothers and their wives and tell them EXACTLY what I think...what I feel their actions have done to me...and I'd cut them permantly from my life. But since I love my parents....I stay silent and try to sustain some peace for them. I don't pretend I do like the 4 of them...but for now....I don't speak my mind around them anymore either.

hmmm that is a pretty good question. i think that honestly if i could change one thing in my life i would go back to the time of my birth and make myself a genius. i think that would be very cool to be very smart like albert einstein and it could bring you international fame and money. you could also do some really neat math equations like john nash on ABeautiful Mind. That is what I would change. My intelligence.

cool everybody:) me? i would change the fact that i was ever born.

you see, when my mother met my father, he beat her, and she stayed, she got pregnant, it continued, and she stayed, she got preg again with me, and she stayed, and then my brother, and well, you get the picture, my point is, i wish that i had never been born, that my mom would have stood up for herself and never stayed, and then i wouldn't be so ###$ up de to the abuse, but i'm actually quite well adjusted, if it's just not for learning disabilities, and psychosis, owell, look at the stars!
somtimes, it's like i want to touch these lights, and give into them become them, just a flash for a moment~in this world

I guess I would wish to not have a bad back. I broke my back about 10 years ago, and because of that I can't jog and my active lifestyle is a little limited. Jogging controlled all my mood swings and allowed me to eat as much as I wanted anytime I wanted. I felt like a super person.

i think that would be very cool to be very smart like albert einstein and it could bring you international fame and money.

You know Einstein’s life wasn’t that good. I just watched tape about him. It was really hard for him (he says, and shows) to come up with his ideas. He started thinking at five about questions behind. He asked question of relativity at age of sixteen and it took him lots of years to come with answer. He hated school, but he worked on his own well; he read every book on science(at that time). After he finished college he couldn’t get any position. He didn’t give up after one try, he tried EVERY possibility. At the same time he had personal crisis, he got girlfriend (She was very bright, and better student, lived independently{he with parents}) She got pregnant and failed her education. He had no job and they gave up child (rules) and baby died shortly. Then he got crappy job where he worked 8 hours a day correcting some kind of crap. After job he studied and thought about question. They married and had 2boys (1shizhophrenic) but he had no time for his wife with his thoughts. Then when he came up with relativity he got fame people got interested in him and he felt more pressure to produce more results. (He left everythig and moved here because of WWI) His wife was all alone, she begged to see him, she got depressed, and he cheated on her at that time. With his second wife history repeated. He became isolated, he didn’t like what he did. His thinking was all that he had(possibly kept him from depression), all that made him good. He dived into it, and you should see how much work he put into it. There are numerous calculations, before he got to right one. All of his hard work pushed on him and he died early (76 heart failure) He got what he had because he put everything, his whole life in figuring out how earth works. I say on scale of happiness his life wasn’t that good.
He wasn’t born with it he worked for it very hard, and if you willing to work as much as he did you can have even more (because now there are more people, more information, you can make your life better, you can buy nicer things)
If this is really your goal
a)read everything on science b) find problem to solve c)think about it day and night. d) do necessary work e)never give up (he was working on connecting everything together for decades and when he was dying he asked to bring his calculation, he died calculating)

I wish I learned how to control my self, because if I could do that I could make my self into anything. (I am working on it.)
