We don’t arrive to this life adventure knowing it all. If we did, what would be the point?
I remember this chaotic, impatient, awkward, young girl, tripping over life. You might remember a similar girl or boy from the early days of your own life story.
When I reflect back on this girl, I do so with such compassion and love, because I realize now;
~ How hard she worked to find her voice and to be heard.
~ How she struggled to find the values to guide her.
~ How desperately she wanted to find her purpose.
~ How determined she was in her quest to find her place in the world and find her tribe,
And
~ How passionately she craved, and still craves, authentic human connections.
Back “then” she couldn’t even describe what this craving was.
I hope you see and admire the younger version of yourself the same way. Be gentle with, and forgive yourself for the mistakes you think you’ve made, because none of it was a mistake. That younger you, was just trying to figure life out, searching, learning and growing like we all are.
Wherever you are along this life journey, is exactly where you’re meant to be. Be grateful that your younger self got you this far, now, keep on going💖.
