What would happen if there was one thing from your past that you could change? Would you? How would it impact the life you've got now?
If I could change one thing from my past, for better or worse, it'd be to bring my mother back. She passed away in 2012, and at the time I was only ten years old. It brought on depression, hatred from my father, and a lot of anger. I wish that I could change that, because my mom was my best friend. I told her everything, from grades to new friends to bullying and so on. Now, I can go to my dad, step-mother, or grandmother, but it's just not the same. If I could change that one thing, maybe I wouldn't have this depression. I wouldn't have turned to self harm, to anxiety, to anything but my mother. I wouldn't have two step-siblings, I wouldn't have a six month old sister, or anything but the family I grew up with. My parents would be happy, I could come home from school every day to two loving parents instead of chaos. But honestly, I'd just be grateful to see her one last time. To get to say goodbye for real would suffice for every little thing I've gone through the past four years. That, my friends, is what I'd change from my past, for better or worse.
