@KalWest I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. :(
My answer above was a bit casual, but I do agree with others that I wouldn’t want to “erase” anything that led to the life I have today. Big mistakes, people I’ve known who’ve hurt me, jobs I didn’t like, or places I went that maybe I shouldn’t have gone.
I would shake away the time I ran over the raccoon, or the time in jr. high when I got my period and wasn’t expecting it (oh, the horror of having to explain to the male asshole of a principal why I needed to call my mom for a change of clothes), or some of the times I put my foot in my mouth and hurt some feelings.
