Dear Younger Me

If you could go back in time, would you?

This was me, 40 years ago. I was just beginning my senior year in high school. I had already experienced a broken heart or two and was determined not to let it happen again. Instead...I was going to be the heartbreaker (in my thoughts, at least).

I wanted to be seen as a confident soon-to-be high school graduate but in reality, I was anything but confident. I longed for peer acceptance and yet struggled with personal acceptance. I knew it all but knew nothing. I had great plans but no plans at all. I wanted it all but didn't know what I wanted.

It was a crazy season of changes, love, and life.

I wouldn't do anything different because that would mean everything about me now would be different, too.

To the girl I was 40 years ago...you're going to be ok.
