Just carry on being myself. I chose this life before I came in, and need it for the growth of my soul...and I like my life. It's had its obstacles to overcome, and very painful experiences, but those have made me very strong and I've learned to overcome all of it. It's been very good for the growth of my soul. And if everything that I've been through and overcome in this life helps one other person to deal with something, or to heal their pain, then it was all worth it.
Actually, since I did help one very special person through his father's slow death and then his own, it's all been worth it anyway.
Big_John: Maybe this is my second time around and I just don't know it....
I know, for a fact, this is my second time around starting in my early 20's, after waking from a coma of almost 6 weeks. I had to start over, completely from the word go, as I knew nothing of who I was, where I was, or who to heck were all these people, my family, always asking me questions. I chose to start over, and worked my butt off to prove I wasn't going to fall victim to injuries medical professionals would say, "Chances of recovery are minimal, and he will never be as he was." And they were right, I'm better then I was, and from the stories I have heard, am glad of it. Guess I got lucky, or blessed, with a chance to, "start life all over again as somebody else."

Good for you, Abram! What a feat you've accomplished!
Ambrose2007: Just a technical note: you can't actually start life over again as someone else, since becoming someone else logically requires the death of "you."
Yes it does, pronounced dead, and the family called in to identify my body before unpluggling the medical equipment. Can even factually say, I no longer occupied it, at the time. It was actually pretty fantastic, a Pure Love, and Freedom, that I have never felt since, but a part of why I no longer fear.

Wow. What a life-changing experience at such a young age.
druidess6308: Wow. What a life-changing experience at such a young age.
It was druidess, and I wish there were words to explain it, but there are none in any language. Every word we use describes an experience our physical senses recognizes, and it was not of that, and I know it. I guess that's why it's of "faith", and I happened to get the chance to experience it first hand.
Start all over again , no real reason except there are things that I could've done & wish I would have alot better & others I'd rather not have and wouldn't do again.
