Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be someone else? What if I had been born in Alaska, the poor daughter of a couple of Eskimos? What if I had been born an heiress to parents of tremendous wealth? What if I had been born in Africa or China? How different would my life be? What if I had been born disabled or disfigured?
Or what it would be like if things hadn't turned out the way that they had? What if events that occured in my childhood had never happened? Would I still be the person that I am today? Would I be better? Worse?
What if I had never made any of the mistakes that I have made throughout my lifetime? Would I know the things that I know now? What if I had made the mistakes that I thought about making, but ended up making the right decisions instead?
Then I think about all the people that I have met in my life. What if I had never met them? I don't think I've met a single person that hasn't changed me in some way. Maybe they changed my outlook on life to a more positive one. Maybe they made me cynical. Maybe they made me happy. Maybe they made me feel hatred or terror. Maybe they inspired me to go after the things I've always wanted to do.
Does everyone think the same things that I think? Do they wonder about these things too?
