If you could change one thing about yourself.....

[tactillianlover]

I would change the fact that there are not two women- no-three women-
in the same room as I. Three women that I would adore because they feel the need to make love to me. No , make that an overwhelming sense of duty and desire to erotically devour me in a good way. Also they would feel it their place to bombard me, again in a good way-no-in a very, very good way, with, much forplay-you know, the good stuff- and they would probably call me Sledgehammer. Yes, I'm sure they would.

 

[kurchatovium]

I would change nothing for if I changed anything then I would not be me and since I like me and want to stay me then I should not change a thing to still be the me I want to be. In another words our pains, faults and tragedies help define who we are are. If you change those things then you change the person you have become.

Well, I wouldn't mind being able bodied again, and much more ticklish than I am now, but Sunrise loves me, so it's not so bad. I love her too, of course!

Hey Ayla NY

"I like the me I am today. but if I could throw in a time machine... I’d give the 19 yr old me the courage the 34 yr old me has today."

That has to be one of the coolest responses I've heard in a long time! Ditto +6 years.

 

[Oddjob0226]

I'd be less ugly, then I could get by on my looks. Right now, I got nothin'!

this getting older stuff is actually pretty cool, don’t you think? cheap car insurance, insight and bravery. I’ll take it. 🙂

I'll take it also. It's much better than the alternative.

 

[JPie1]

I like alot of things about being older, but I would definitely take my 25 year old body back!! LOL

 

[Limeoutsider]

Lets begin, Id change my weight, get better people skills (or be less shy, one or the other, or both), my temper, Id be good st sports, more motivation, more ambition, no more insomnia, no more depression, more self confidence, (as soon as I hit submit thread, Ill think of 20 more things to list), and no more being paranoid about EVERYTHING Im paranoid about

 

[tickleshotel]

Well this is a good question because I have been through alot in my life and my experiences has made me what I am today..But if I could change one thing about myself ,I would have to honestly say that I wish I would have pursued my interest in horses,went through the training and become a JOCKEY..I have been around horses with family,friends in the past but never really learned to handle a horse on my own to where I could be a Jockey professionally..I think a big part of why I didn't pursue my interest when I was younger and capable was that my parents didn;t have the money,ect and also I had a slight fear of being a Jockey professionally and the injuries that are sometimes associated with the Jockey profession.

Changes....hmmmmm

In the Physical plane , I'm w/ Tickleshotel...I worked extensivly w/ horses for nearly 15 years as a Wrangler, Outfitter & Teamster...(There was no harder way to make $500.00 @ mo. room & board)...It was like having your own health-spa w/ Big Animals that could Kill You....But Id go back to it in a N.Y.Second if I could.
In the Metaphysical plane, I would like to have paid more attention: 1)when I was given very Valuable advice, esp. from my Dad & Grandfather.
2) When a real nice girl was paying attention to me.
3)When my parrents were still married so I'd have a decent memory as to what family life was like.

 

[Raichyll]

The only thing I would change about me in that kind of magical way, as opposed taking the cards I got, would be that I would like to know more about my birth parents (was adopted at 8months old) so I could answer people when they ask "Where are you from?"

 

[Deleted member 2452]

good thought provoking thread, thanks.

my first thoughts were it's a tie between wanting all my hair back, or getting rid of this small spare tie around my middle. i'm 6'1" and weigh 180, so i'm far from fat, but i'd like a six-pack, lol.

then some of you came up with good ideas, that got me thinking (damn you); so if i could change any thing, i'd like to be able to erase my momory of a few things, and be able to forgive my wife, and trust her, and love her again like i used to.

One More Thing

🙁 Like Raichyll...I was adopted @6-8 mos.old; I'd like to ,aside from meeting my birth parents,Find my roots ...I did find out that my birth-mother was of Irish /Scotish decent w/ red hair , light complexion & green eyes...My birth-father was Dark haired, dark-eyed & dark complexion...Just going into or coming home from the Korean War...Inquiring minds would like to know a bit more than that.

Wow, L.O., you list about ten things that you'd like to change, and promise 20 more.

But the title of this thread was "If you could change one thing about yourself ..."

So I am afraid that you (and some other posters) have exceeded the limit.😀

 

[terorizer]

I would like to be more sweet/considerate. People who know me would probably say "huh"?, and I certainly have "sweet moments", but it's usually after a concerted effort on my part. You know how some people just wake up considerate and nice and sweet, with no effort? I would like to be one of those people, cuz I think they are the bestest.

 

[sole seeker]

If I could change one thing...

I think I would try to be less modest. Greatness such as mine should be allowed to shine through!


Seriously though... I think I need to be less concerned with what others think of me. Unfortunately, every time I try to accomplish this life has a way of slapping me in the face and telling me that other's opinions can impact my life in ways I hadn't thought of.

 

[Dragon321]

hmmmm

no offense, but these things seem pretty trivial (except the time machine thing!)

i would like to become enlightened, elucidated. wise. i would like to be able to watch a tragedy and do more than put money in those little envelopes. i would like to be able to change the world, change society. i would like to become less selfish, more forgiving, smarter, more urbane and intellectual, atronger in will, fitter in body. most of all, i would want to have the courage to face myself, so i can better face others.

Off topic I know, but the power to do exactly that is within every one of us.

Re: Re: hmmmm

Absolutely! As a matter of fact, that's why I mentioned something like finding out about my birthparents (a decision I had no choice in) as opposed to that kind of thing. Life is about choices. Some people choose to help others and strive to take more responsibility, and other do not. Being compassionate to oneself & others and acting out of it is a choice, not something that can magically be given to you. Like the Nike says, "Just do it!"

If I could change anything about myself, it would be my eyesight. I wish I didn't need my glasses (although they do look good on me. It's just the inconvienence of it all)
