Now vs then
I wonder how my teenage, 20 – 30 something, and many years beyond self would have answered the question, “If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?” On the surface it comes across as something easy to answer however, I am not sure there could ever be an easy, let alone, completely considerate reply.
