Random Thursday thoughts 💙
If my 20-year-old self sat in front of me right now and asked, “So, how are we in our late 30s, almost 40?” I wouldn’t sugarcoat it.
I’d tell her: “Girl, life won’t be gentle. You’ll make mistakes, you’ll trust people who will betray you, and you’ll cry over things you thought would break you. You’ll have nights questioning your worth, mornings where you’ll feel like giving up, and seasons where chaos feels endless. But you’ll also laugh harder than you ever imagined, meet people who truly matter, and learn that your strength runs deeper than any pain. It’s messy, it’s brutal, but you’ll survive and surviving is already winning."
My life has been far from perfect. It’s been chaos mixed with happiness, failures wrapped in lessons, and battles fought in silence. Nothing was ever handed to me on a silver platter, but I fought hard for my place, and I’m proud of that fight.
Do I regret anything? Not a damn thing. Because every scar, every wrong turn, every heartbreak shaped me into who I am today... tougher, wiser, unshakable.
Life didn’t just hand me peace, I’m not here because it was easy. I’m here because I refused to quit. I wrestled it out of the storms. And if I had to, I’d go through it all again. 🙏
Now, your turn... if you could meet your younger self today, what’s the realest, no-filter advice you’d give them?
