I’ve wondered, been asked a few times what would you do differently in life if you knew things…  I believe our journey plays out as it should.. the ups and downs, the mistakes and trials are lessons we need.  But at this point in life and the state of life in the world, I’m not sure my 20 yr. Old Me would even believe what I would say.

Twenty years old Me lived in a democracy, believed the world was growing and evolving into a better place. She had seen civil rights fought for, women struggling but winning our rise in society. Saw people accepting each other and making life a bit more of what should be, not was.  I still struggle to understand the last 10 years. 20 year old me would not believe the last 10, the last 2 especially. 

I would tell Me, just stay strong, chose wisely and try to enjoy the journey because lufe has a way of going upside down in a moment, there really are monsters hiding among us, be careful with your heart, always keep your faith. You will survive, but lufe will be dark and heavy… always watch for the monsters…
