I saw this picture on Facebook and had to share it with my friends. It really hit home with me. I wasn’t an outgoing person growing up but I did like to shock others. I always justified that if people were talking about me, then they weren’t talking about my friends or family. When I look back on my younger years, there’s a lot I’d love to tell myself. There’s also so much I’d love to change. I was in such a hurry to grow up and move on with my life, that I didn’t appreciate the small things happening around me each day. I wasn’t always kind nor did I always do my best. Yet, now when I look at where I am today, I’m happy with my life. Maybe it took all those mistakes to get me to this place. I love writing and being an author. I enjoy helping other authors and reading their stories. I’ve made some wonderful friendships and have a happy homelife. My children are well-rounded and moral with a great sense of themselves. I suppose I would tell myself to slow down. Life is not a race. What would you tell your younger self? Remember to only use two words!
