If you could be 9 again...
8 years ago
"If you're falling down, I'll be right there to catch you. If you feel alone, you know I got you...
What if one day you woke up and you were 9 years old? No reason. It just happened. You don't know how long you'd be stuck like this.
What would you do? Would you try to reenact your year as best as you could? Do better with mistakes made? Tell people about the future?
I had a dream last night I was 8 years old. I know that because it was the summer going into 3rd grade. Nine just kind of stuck in my head for some reason. I remember asking questions like "Was last Christmas the one I asked the aunts and uncles for colored construction paper?" and "Did grandma and grandpa leave to travel the states yet?". I remember it took some time to convince my parents I was really 20 years old stuck in my 8 year old body. They asked me what I would've known at twenty, and some of the answers I gave were personal. Like to my mom I told her "You gave me a little notebook you wrote in during high school that had a small chapter about a princess with two spirit dogs, Magician and Luna." To my dad I said "You told us once and only once, but you used to go up in buildings under construction with your friends and play games, sometimes even barefoot."
Basically, I just spent the day with my folks and little brother back in time trying to warn them about what happens to me through the years. I told them about my bullies in which grade, why I sometimes told them I didn't want them to see my drama productions, who my best friends will be, which schools I went to after elementary, and what happens after high school.
So, what would you guys do if you woke up 8 or 9 again.

I'd probably warn my mother that she'd die at the age of sixty from congestive heart failure, and my aunt Lorene to quit smoking or else she'd die at the age of sixty-two from terminal cancer. I'd try my damndest to warn about world events like 9/11, I'd warn about climate change, I'd warn families about suicides and horrific freak accidents. Once I was sure I had done everything I could to save as many lives as possible, I would just enjoy what was left of that day as a nine year old, go out and jump on my trampoline again, play on my PS1, etc.

I'd be terrified. The years of 8-17 were the most torturous hell years of my life.

I would hate to experience that time over again... Those were some horrible experiences for me...

If I could keep my knowledge I had now I'd have a lot more of an edge and if I had my same personality more guts... I would want to change something in my future but it would involve finding someone and warning my classmates not to drive on a certain rainy day, so that she would still be alive maybe I'd feel better if I could prevent that too
