What I've seen, done, had done to me. Things that hurt or scared me or knocked me on my ass. Maybe not all of it, but a lot of it taught me how to get knocked on my ass and get up again.
I'd be happier and more trusting. I'd have a home and a family again. Hell, I might even have siblings.
On the other hand, I would be weaker. I'd speak 2 less languages. I probably wouldn't have left North America. And I'd have a lot less friends because I'd probably still be in Baltimore hanging out with all the same guys I grew up with. If I never left Baltimore, I wouldn't know Andy and as much as I love the idea of having my parents again, I don't think I could trade one for the other.
