A letter from Jul 29th, 2021

To my 28 year old self, 23 years old. Lost and confused on what to do in the world. A new mom. So much struggle and pain. On the other side, so much healing. So much awakening. Realizing things I was too numb to realize. I’m awake now. I know who I want to be and what I want to do. Lessons learned so far: -Always save and grow your money. Spending it on stuff you don’t need is just like throwing it away. Make yourself happy without having to spend unnecessarily. Wealth is health. -No one can make you happy but YOU. You hold the power to your life. How you feel about you will determine how your life goes. -Think thoroughly before making decisions. If it feels like a NO, don’t do it. Your precious time and energy depends on who and what you allow in your life. In closing, I love my son, my family, and my God. I am so blessed to have them. I feel like being “in a relationship” has brought me more pain than being alone. I don’t know how it will turn out, but I know I will always honor and put myself first. Amen. Love, 2021 self
