If you could travel to any
location in the universe — where would you travel and why?
As strange
as it may sound, I would choose to travel back in time to the locations of my
best and worst memories. I would do this so I could see them through new eyes
and also write down the memories word for word in order to better share them
later on. I would go back to my days as
a young girl with my grandfather when he told me stories of his time in Germany
during WWII. I would record his words and ask more questions than I did then. I would go back to the days spent with my
best friends growing up and treasure those moments more fully, writing down the
things we did together and the dreams we shared, so I could connect more fully
with them today. I would go back and listen to my dad with more intention and
with a softer heart, recording those funny and insightful things he said and
did when I was a kid. I would write down
exactly how the precious moments when my mom became my friend played out and
what it was like to make that cross over so early. I would take more time to get to know my
teachers and to make note of important lessons they taught me, so I could go
back and thank them today with specifics. There are so many more of these I
could write about, but I think you get the idea. I would go back to those times
in order to see them through my older, wiser eyes and appreciate them in ways
that I couldn’t at the time. In the end,
it’s the people and experiences you have with them that matter most, not the
location in the universe where you visit or choose to live, so teleporting to
anywhere else in the world that did not include all my friends and family would
not be worth teleporting to. J What about you?
