COMING BACK TO DO WHAT?

There was a time in my life when I wished I hadn't been born by my parents, I wished I had been born Into a more stable and wealthy family, being the only child and having all to myself, especially my parents' love and care. I wished my parents would spoil me with everything life had to offer, and I would be that good son who would live up to his parent's expectations and continue the family legacy. If I should be more specific, I wished I was a; prince being the only heir to the throne and having to continue that legacy... I would often imagine it over and over again, I could spend the whole day thinking about the different things I would have to gain If my life was like that.

Fast forward to almost 15 years later, I am here wishing life was that simple. If I had the opportunity to be reincarnated, and the me of then would have the opportunity to choose the kind of life I want, the family and country I wanted to be born In, I would not think twice about anything as I already had It all planned in my head. First I would have decided to be born to a Nigerian black mother and an Italian prince as my father. I would want to have met my grandparents (the royal ones) because I never got to meet both my grandparents in this life. I would want to live a rich low key life disguising as an ordinary guy but having people do my bidding as I wished. But then, I know better, and like I said earlier, life is not as easy as that.

Thinking about it right now, If I had the opportunity to come back, I'm not sure I would even take it. I mean, what am I coming to do, I wouldn't want to come back to face the whole heartaches of life again after everything I have gone through to date. I have come to understand that choosing a different life is choosing a different problem, and I can not know whether or not the life I will be choosing will come with worse problems than I have had to endure. For example what if I choose a rich life only to come into it as a sickle cell patient having all the money but battling with my health for the rest of my life.

Life is not fair, and I have come to understand that we can only accept whatever life gives and strive to grow in any way possible. But then again there is a slim chance I will choose to be reincarnated just to come back exactly the same way I came only never to make the same mistakes I have made in this life, but choosing better decisions and choosing to have less of the regrets I have now. But one can not be too careful, and mistakes are inevitable, so I think I will go back to leaving everything as it were.
