“If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as another character…
Would you slow down? Or speed up?”
Chuck Palahniuk
Hmm, I don’t know. There was a time I would have said speed up. Now I like where and who I am so I don’t think I want it to speed up. As for slowing down…maybe, for now, that would be okay but I am getting old(er) and depending on how that goes I might change my mind. Coming back as another character? Only if I get to choose the role.
What about you?

Things are just fine how they are—no speeding up or slowing down. As to coming back as another character, no thank you. Once is enough 🙂
You are right…once is enough. But it would be nice if it lasted longer.
I think I’m traveling just right. I think I’ll stay right where I am.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
Nice to be happy where you are and with who you are…makes life good.
There were times I wished I had been born someplace tropical or had blonder hair or was taller. Now I am so grateful I am who I am. I can’t imagine living in the war torn countries. So…I’m happy as is.
I think if I lived in a place where there was war or where terrorism was the norm I would be scared to death and therefore dead.
I would slow down. I like who I am and where I am now. I wouldn’t want to come back as another character.
The older I get the faster time goes and I would like it to slow a bit. I would like to come back as me but with a stronger better character at the start. Life would have been easier, I think.
I think it’s a case of if only I knew than what I know now.
I definitely wouldn’t like to come back as another character. I am just getting comfortable with me!
I know what you mean. It would have been nice being comfortable with myself more when I was younger.
