If I Could I Would..

If I could...

-I would not chat with people in whatever way I seem to be doing now, which leaves me with zero friends...but I'm still not sure if it's me, or the fact that I seem to attract manipulative people like a magnet.

-I would buy a radar that could tell me stable/sane people from people with bad intentions.

-I would move to a beach city (or 2 places I love in Europe) and be able to have truly limited contact with my family.

-I would dye my hair blue or purple and still be a teacher.

-I would take piano and/or electric guitar lessons.
 
@untiltoday My sister is trying to dye her hair blue. However she had died her gray hair black so she is having difficulties. Maybe you could use the chalk they have for your hair. That way you could have it any color you are feeling that day. Maybe on weekends if it would be too much for school. Just a thought.
 
@untiltoday My sister is a grandma in her early 40's. She's also an artist. Instead of buying the actual hair chalk, she actually used her pastels to add some blue to her dark hair. Her roots are completely grey, and a nice grey. Still cool is how I see her, color and all. :)
 
If I could I would never again let my first ex make me upset again; since I know it means I let him get to me again, and I'm worth more than letting him make me upset. He can't hurt me today. He is what he is, but he is pretty harmless nowadays(since he's sober), he only "barks" a bit sometimes. (And I want to learn how to not get triggered anymore.)

As for my other ex: If I could I would find some way to put boundaries strong enough for him to not ever test them. But since he's a narcissist it will never happen: since he always can find new ways, and never stops trying now and again. (SO: I work hard to stay aware and ready for when it happens, since I can never let my guard down.)

If I could, I would change myself, somehow, to be a strong, stable, person, that can help more, and do something for all the people I care about. I would fulfill more promises, be more straightforward and ask for theraphy, I would give everything, to stay the same, to keep it simple.
