Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

I've contemplated and meditated on these questions over the past several day. The only conclusion I have come to is that I would be a different person. The events that have transpired over the past seven decades of my life have made me who I am today. I haven't always liked who I am, but I'm not sure I would like me any better if I were someone else. The maladaptive daydreaming has made my life difficult, perhaps more difficult than it would have been if I wasn't afflicted by this mental illness; however, without it my life could have been just as difficult or more difficult. As I think about these questions, the following quote from Baha'u'llah keeps running through my mind.
