OK guys, I know this is probably not the most original of questions. But I'm kinda like a rookie here and this is my first post so go easy! LOL!
But yah, I would like to know that if you could meet your younger self, knowing what you know now, what would you tell him or her?
I didn't have the easiest of childhoods for many reasons. And growing up, I didn't always feel that I fit in with my peers. In fact alot of the time I tried to mold myself into what they wanted me to be. It's only as I grew older that I learned to embrace what was different about me and created a community of people who were alot like me and I'm better for it. I'm now in my forties, and I know I don't fit the typical forty-something stereotype which I'm pleased about because I'm doing things my way.
I just wish I had someone back then to tell me that while I'd still have problems as an adult (who doesn't?) I'd reach a point where I'd be happy in my own skin.
To create a new life far from where I grew up. The farther the better. I'm happy to say I took my own advice. I'm so glad that my kids are experiencing a lifestyle that's very different to the one I had. Don't get me wrong, I had a great life and childhood but I always knew I wanted more and something different.
