My life would be easier if... [open]
There are so many ways I could answer this question.

My life would be easier if we hadn't woken the Wraith. If one of the largest threats in this galaxy was still largely dormant, if we had more time to formulate a really good plan, if they were more manageable...

My life would be easier if we'd never met the Genii. If Cowen and Kolya hadn't taken an interest in getting their hands on our city, if we hadn't been caught off-guard during the storm, if we hadn't spent so much time and energy on them...

No, let's go further back than that. My life would be easier if I'd stayed on Earth. If I hadn't come to Atlantis, if I'd stuck with the Ancient outpost, if I'd let the first 'no' be the only one necessary, if I'd just put the whole thing out of my head and married Simon...

My life would be easier if I'd never taken the job at the SGC. If I'd continued to teach my classes at Georgetown, if I'd just kept walking my dog and hiding the trashy novels from Simon (even though he knew all my hiding places), if I'd been sensible instead of adventurous...

The truth is that none of those lives really would've been easier. Just different.

And I don't want them.
