Me, but then again, maybe not

Have you ever stopped to wonder what your life would be like if you were born in a different time? It crossed my mind earlier today; I’m not sure why. But I wondered what my life would be like if, say, I was born in the 1800s. I would be me, in body and soul, but I wouldn’t be ME. I wouldn’t have had the same experiences and opportunities, so I would be a different person. I imagine I would look the same, but would my natural disposition still be the same? Would I still be introverted, a perfectionist, a control freak? And if I was, would I even knew what those things mean? Would I be married? Probably. But if I was, would I have married for love or because it was expected of me? Would I be a poor farmer’s wife? Considering where I was born, that’s highly likely. I needed a c-section with Leo. Would I have died giving birth? It’s all so much a matter of chance, where and when we are born. We have no control over it, and yet it plays such a huge role in defining who we are. What would Dean, my computer geek, do if he lived in a time before computers? Would I still love music so much, without such easy access to it? I don’t believe in reincarnation, but I would love to meet a different me in a different time. Just to compare notes.
