That is a very interesting question. I have wondered that about myself before. I think I need some more time to come to that conclusion
-
Something along the lines of Oh, forget it. I better stop growing up this instant! -
Hmmmm well..deep inside I still feel like Im the same child I once was.So I cant really go back to that time cause I feel like I wouldnt be going back anywhere.Its still me.-
There you have it. No matter where you go, there you are.

When I was a child I dreamed that I looked into the mirror and a pretty girl looked back. I felt my skin and my hair, and smiled. I was convinced I had turned into a girl and was happier than I had ever known. Then I awoke, saw it was all a dream, and cried bitterly. That began 2 things: I began to see myself more as a girl than as the "boy" I was being raised to be, and I began a lifelong study of dreams.
Last year after surgery I looked into the mirror, and I saw a woman looking back. I smiled, remembering the dream from childhood. I also wrote about dreaming practices in The Tessara which is almost ready to go to print.
I had never forgotten the child...even though that child had felt forgotten by the world. -
then me would think "Mom was wrong, I turned out pretty damn good" -

what would you do differently?
-
hmmm...just realized you asked me a question.
I guess I would do small things like live in a different state for college, date the guy with the spinning rims instead of that guy with the bike, probably keep my job as a waitress...either that or become a stripper, just kidding. I'd probably not say all the rude things I say to people cause people are very sensitive and I seem to not care enough to tone it down. Not really significant but I would just change small things.

Way to go dude, but what happened to the Hammer pants?-
At least Current You and your Future You can have some laughs about that one.
'Cause I SO don't think those Hammer Pants are coming back.

One of the best ways to answer a question like this is to realize how YOUR children or children look at and perceive you. Can you consider yourself a role model for them? Have you done all you could do and continue to do all you can do to brighten and lighten their lives? The value of the perception f a child's eyes are immeasurable - I think this was a good place to start...

I feel like I'm about eight on a good day anyway, so-- probably not much different than now.
The Kid Me would be excited I can finally drive and listen to the music I want. So I guess it wouldn't be bad! -
The child I was would say, "You're still alive? Who'd-a guessed you'd last that long!" -
I grew up to be what I've always wanted to be, the only issue that I would take with myself is that I am not married to Brett Hart like I thought I'd be -
go to my blog you find real truth

Hmm. That's a tough question.
The kid in me still exists and is rather healthy, alive and working wonders so I guess that aside from a few disappointments, the kid I was would be happy with the kid I am now.
I mean adult...the adult I am now. Yeah.
I dunno, the reality of it is what "kid" time period are we talking about? Young child? Teenager? Meh. I'm still a Tomboy, I'm still defiant, I'm a little less daring, but so be it

It is comforting to escape the chaos of Earth by dreaming of an afterlife in ''heaven''... but a few centuries of people being told to dream of being elsewhere is what has caused the holy chaos here on earth.
The earth needs us to cross borders and educate the ''nations'' about the needs of Living Things, and to educate the religions about what God has created in Reality.

Burried under a mountain of mere words, we are still the child that we were born to be.... surfacing occasionally.

totally awesome.

He'd wonder why I'm not a ghostbuster or a master of the universe, And would also wonder why ( as parent ) I'm just like my Dad. Funny how you never really understand your parents until you become one yourself and then you find yourself saying the same things that they did.-
when you find yourself saying "because I said so" you know you've become a little like your parents

Mini me would say "What is up with you? I thought I wanted to be a teacher because Kindergarten rules." -
I don't know.
What exactly is "child me"?
Me when I was 3? 6? 10? 12?
Still I feel unable to answer this question because I don't remember what or how I used to think back those times.
Hell, I don't even remember how I used to think when I was 15~17!
BTW, I'm 21 now -
I don't remember being a child, I was very young then

We use the alphabet, language, nationality and religion that we were told to use. Becoming a Human is not easy, when the upbringing has been so limited by empty promises and empty threats enforced by national and religious rulers.

I once thought "what if I had been born a day earlier?". Then I realized I would have figured the answer out yesterday.
What is really tough is not being hard on your self for the dumb mistakes of youth (or yesterday). -
I was born in a POW camp at the end of WW2.
Each ''barracks'' ( more like a big barn ) held dozens of families.
Before I was 5 I knew about nations, soldiers, wars, male and female, sex, birth, illness, old age, death and murder.
When I came to America at age five, I was already making plans, but there were no people here as old as I was.
I would have married Loren Lee McCarthy and run away to Costa Rica at age 16, but the adults were not mature enough to allow us to make the journey to freedom.-
Thats intense!

When I was little, all I wanted was a cute boyfriend. I was so dumb. But I think she'd be happy that I got what I wanted many times over.
