What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?
If I was to go back and tell her something I may completely change my life course. And when you have kids you don’t want to change your life course because then you wouldn’t have the children that you have. Makes you grateful for all that you’ve been through. “God blessed the broken road that lead me strait to you”.
I think if I was to go back right now and speak to her I would just comfort her and give her a very long hug. I’d probably even start crying and she’d be like why are you crying…..and I’d be crying for the joy that has yet to come but also the hard moments and just let her know that everything with be okay. I wouldn’t provide specifics but I would give her some hope.
Now aside for this, I wish my 20 year old self was more confident in who she was. She was very insecure, let others treat her badly, didn’t stand up for herself, her self worth was low, her self respect was low, she was also lonely. I would tell that girl how beautiful she was and how loved she is. I would tell her that she is deserving and that she can accomplish anything that she wants.
Maybe this is why I have daughters…..
