"I've been wrong, but I've been changing...I've been wondering what to do..."

Whenever I listen too closely to the words of a song, I find my mind running away from me.  This morning's musings were complicated.  Only if it wouldn't result in me not having my kids...what would I tell the 16-year-old me, given the chance?
