I've been thinking about my younger self lately - how I'd do so many extracurricular things my parents always signed me up for, and what i would ultimately do when I reach my 30s. Now that i'm in that age, I'm not the doctor I dreamed to be, nor the painter that wanted to just grab her brushes after she wakes up and eats her breakfast, but I am content. I want to tell my younger self that life will forever evolve, even after you think what you're doing currently is what you're meant to do for the rest of your life. And probably tell her that everything will be okay. Stay strong, be brave to face challenges, and always stay grounded. How about you? What would you tell your younger self?

I’d tell 13yo me thank you for reading the book of proverbs every month bc it changed my life and prob my life trajectory. I would tell her to be nicer and less judgmental abt ppl who didnt study or do homework. some ppl just blossom late and need to catch up their homework later in life 😛 id tell my 13yo BFF im thankful she was such a study nerd, and grateful her crazy parents brought me to church every week. in fact, thanked her parents recently, bc I practically grew up at their house. I was THAT kid. but 13 was the year I realized, we are more than our circumstances predict. that the ugliness outside, didn’t mean I had to become it inside. and the ugliness inside, need be overcome with something greater, better. for me that was the power of God’s love. at 13 I made choices, determined to never become the brokenness around me, inside others, inside me. God’s love showed me that doesn’t have to be my story, and what an adventure lived because of Him! I’ll fight for that better life, His life for me and others till my dying day.
