Me and my many lives

I've decided that we, as humans, cannot just live once.

There are too many different experiences in life for anyone person to undergo in a single life time.

I, for example, will never know what it feels like to be an adopted child. One of my best friends, Bonnie, was a foster child. Thankfully she was adopted by one family at a really young and was able to grow with them and acknowledge them as her true family.

While sitting on the porch tonight, enjoying the cool night air, she was mentioning contacting her biological parents. It was at that moment that I got a little jealous of her.

My thoughts were "I will never understand what she is feeling or thinking when she talks about her "real" parents...".

This is just one of MANY different scenarios that I will never in my life.

So I have decided that when I die, I will be reborn as an entirely new person and into a whole new atmosphere. But I will some knowledge and experience from my current life and with it, I can become a better person in my next life.

Maybe it's silly. Maybe it's not.
