Prompt: Change

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

One thing, eh? A few years ago, I would have answered something about my mental health or personality, but these days, I would eliminate the arthritis from my knees and/or back. It turns out that pain and disability suck and are not especially great for mental health either.

There seemed to be some notion floating around the larger family units (by birth and marriage) that losing weight would fix me. It really hasn’t. It didn’t magically undo the damage, even if my joints are under less pressure.

I would definitely opt out of pain immediately if that were an option.
