Re-incarnation

Being serious?

I would like another go at me. I made some bad decisions, and despite it all turning out ok for me at this moment, I would still like to look at other paths I could have taken.

What if I hadn't been lazy at school?

What if I had chosen a different partner?

Decided against children?

Chosen a particular man to provide children, but not as a partner?

Taken out my ex rather than get a divorce?

Nipped any slow onset bullying in the bud?

Yes, put me down to be re-incarnated as cherry.

I have shamelessly taken these first four posts from another thread, to start afresh here. 

I thought it deserved it's own.

I dont think Id want to be human, Im having a hard enough time with this incarnation.

Id like to be a lemuer, a ghost of the forest. Or a whale (providing the japs dont hunt me) exploring the Oceans of this planet which are as exciting as space given how little we really know about them.

You're all sounding like a show I just started watching... but it's only one season because it's canceled now. It's called Hindsight. She gets to go back and "re-do" her life. It is an interesting thought. It's not through reincarnation, though =p

I mean.. I guess I wouldn't mind being me again.... but I would want to know what it's like to have good health. I don't regret much of anything.. just a few partners here and there, but eh, I didn't waste too much time on them...

I just want to know what it's like to have a body that hasn't failed me. Our bodies are naturally supposed to be sufficient at regulating itself... and mine attacks itself instead. I can't change that about myself, and it's something I'll have for the rest of my life.... I just would like to know what it feels like to not have the issues I have... even for just a week.. it would be nice!

OH.. and I wish I could be confident as me. Actually take some time to make myself look good like most women. I still have time to do that, but I wish I started a bit younger. Maybe I wouldn't have felt so ugly for so many years if I did.

Aside from that... I would like to come back as a tree. That is what I used to tell people lol and if I had to choose an animal... a cat! I'm already a cat in human form, so might as well. Maybe I was a cat in a past life, though ;-)

Thanks, I try not to dwell on it too much.. no point really, but it's very hard to ignore. At least I have redeeming qualities, so you have a point. Sometimes I wonder... would I be who I am without my health issues? Probably not completely. What if I would have been a snotty ahole with a superiority complex??? Haha, okay, maybe I never would have been that bad.. nobody in my family is like that.

That song is interesting when viewing it from the perspective of someone with a chronic illness. Good choice!

Well, I just meant I wish I made myself more presentable when I was younger. I dressed like a boy and didn't do a thing with make up or my hair until I was about 18 or 19. And then I'd cry about how ugly I was all those years lol but I never did anything to make myself feel/look prettier. I caused my own self esteem issues with that, and I wish I could go back and make sure I don't do that for so many years. So, yeah, I want to go back and be less self conscious. I just wish I wasn't so down on myself back then. Part of it was because people made fun of me, though. I wish I could go back and tell them off ;-)

I'm better looking now than I was then, btw =p In 20 years, I'm sure I'll miss some of my looks that I currently have, but I'm sure I'll adjust all right. I've never been one to focus on looks much because I do find other traits much more important and desirable, but if I could fix my self esteem issues earlier that would be nice. I still feel like the adolescent me is hiding inside making me feel unsure about myself every now and then... I want her to go away ;p It takes a long time to fix self esteem.... and I wish I could do that part over and have no self esteem issues to begin with. Not sure how that's possible, though, but this is pretend reincarnated me, so she'll find a way!

Not sure what she has to do with re-incarnation, [fine woman as she undoubtedly is], but I suspect we are being deflected from Jen asking us our opinions but not telling us how she would be re-incarnated LOL

I like koalas, but I could see you more as a kangaroo. Bouncing around, moving from place to place, making people smile just for seeing you.

For that you would surely qualify.

To quote Rabbie Burns [translated from auld scots]

This truth finds honest Tam o' Shanter,
As he from Ayr one night did canter;
Old Ayr, which never a town surpasses,
For honest men and bonny lasses.
