I read this meme on Facebook that read, "Don't forget to turn your clocks back. I think I'll turn mine back to when I was 20."
My first thought was, "Wouldn't that be nice?" But then I remembered being 20. I wasn't married yet, I wasn't sure where my life was going to go. I wanted a family, but I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen. I was lonely, hard-working and uncertain. I hadn't even gone back to college yet. I wouldn't want to go back there.
Then I thought maybe 30, but really that wasn't a good year for me either. I was suffering from post-partum depression and miserable.
So I thought about my life now. Sure there are a few things I would change about where I live. But in my life? No, not really. I wouldn't change my kids, my marriage, my family at all. So while I would like to have the body I had at 20, I don't want the life I had back then.
