Before
Before I was born, I was a different person;
Before I could talk, I was a different person;
Before I went to school, I was a different person;
Before my first friendship, I was a different person;
Before my first crush, I was a different person;
Before my first kiss, I was a different person;
Before my first heartbreak, I was a different person;
Before I went to work, I was a different person;
Before I married, I was a different person;
Before I birthed a child, I was a different person;
Before I divorced, I was a different person;
Before I travelled, I was a different person;
Before my parents died, I was a different person;
Before I became a grandmother, I was a different person;
As I grow older, each step of the way,
I will become a different person almost every single day; and
After I die, I hope to see no real end, but
Just become a different person all over again.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, if you still are the same person at 40 that you were at 20 you have wasted 20 years of your life.
Another appropriate Mark Twain quote to your topic:
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
— Mark Twain
Very nice SPK.
Wow this is Pre-cool my friend.I often say to people that Green being my favorite color,has always been my favorite color even before I was born.Well of course I get strange looks after saying that,but then again I get strange looks when I tell people I am a Buddhist as well.I think the Buddhism has something to do with it,although I still thought that way far before I practiced Buddhism…oh well…..lol :entertained:
That is the way it works, and why I refer to Reincarnation as, God’s Recycling Program.
I remember incarnations going way, way back. Yeah, there’s a ton of stuff I’m not going to do again :love:
:love:
Howdy SPK.
You made me smile, my friend.
🙂
Love it. As to reincarnation… My first carnation died. Some kind of wilt or maybe I over fertilized? 😉
Let ya know if i get there….
One of the only things in life you can depend on is change. The best way to handle them is to just try and roll with them and then make the best of them.
Nice write. 🙂
I loved this also!!! We are constantly having new experiences that make us change and grow.
lol I just deleted something I had added, but it was too deep and I wouldn’t want to screw up my reputation around here 😉
