Time travel......sigh......wouldnt that be lovely? Thats my first thought when I think about going back in time to the younger me and telling me things that would possibly save me so much heartache and fear. The next thought, though, is if I were to do that, would I still be me? Would I still view life as I do now? Would things be better, or worse? Would I still have my children? I dont have these answers, as Im sure no one else does, either. But, pretending I could, I would go back in time and tell the younger, 15 year old me these three things:
1. Have confidence!!!!! Laugh at your mistakes, laugh with others laughing at you, and dont be so afraid of judgement! Eveyone has s ecrets, everyone has shame, everyone has suffered.....dont let silly, small things affect you so deeply. Look in the mirror and see that not only are you beautiful on the outside, you are an incredible, special, rare being on the inside. Life will take that from you if you let it.
2. GO TO COLLEGE and GRADUATE!!! This is going to affect everything you do in your life, your future. You may not realize it now, but youre going to need that degree someday to fall back on. You need to own your future. Youre smart, youre determined, youre fully capable....quit pissing away your life and get your A** in school!!!!
3. Dont let others determine your self worth. You are perfect in Gods eyes, and believe me honey, God is all the man you need! Dont go searching for love and acceptance and that self worth in a man. Dont let friends influence you. Dont let money determine that youre worthy. You are perfect and wonderful in Gods image, that is the only acceptance you need.
Im sure in some psychobabbleriffic world, Im a true head case. Oh well. Im me, and Im not changing for you. Like it, lump it, or leave it, its your call.....but know youll be missing the most amazing person youll ever know.
