Today’s question is:

What if you could go back in time, take one aspect of your childhood personality, and bring it back to your present-day self? What aspect would you choose?

To be totally honest, I’m not sure, because I can’t remember my childhood or what I was like back then. I’m thinking I was the same as a child as I am now — quiet, reserved, introverted. Maybe if I was most extroverted, maybe I’d bring that aspect back to my present day — but I don’t recall being that way.

This is part of my ‘what if…?’ series inspired by Scenario Cards (which are packs of cards that come in 6 different varieties (self, the world and life; and gratitude, vision and impact) that inspire meaningful conversations designed by psychologists). You can check out the rest of the articles in this series here.

And check out my publications: Mindful Mental Health, Penny Press, and Beautiful Choices. Inkslinger Magazine is my personal publication which has fiction and nonfiction.
