I have a feeling younger me would be proud 🫶🏻

4/2 Edited to

... Read moreGrowing up, Disney was more than just entertainment—it was a beacon of imagination and inspiration. Revisiting those youthful experiences often reminds me how much those moments shaped not only my dreams but also my character. The magic of Disney isn't confined to childhood; it’s a lifelong invitation to believe in wonder, hope, and the power of dreams coming true. Listening to Miley Cyrus's 'Younger You' while watching the inspirational messages from Walt Disney himself, like "just don't forget who you are," hit close to home. It’s a beautiful reminder to stay true to ourselves as we grow. In fact, those words motivated me during tough times, encouraging self-love and acceptance while acknowledging our personal evolution. Visiting Disney Parks as an adult brought back a flood of emotions—joy, nostalgia, and gratitude for the experiences that built the foundation of my creativity and resilience. Watching children’s faces light up reminded me that magic transcends age and empowers us to cherish the dreamer inside. If you ever doubt the impact of childhood memories, try reconnecting with what once made you feel alive and inspired. Whether through music, a cherished place, or the stories we grew up with, these moments are essential in understanding who we’ve become—and reminding us that the journey is still unfolding, just as the message from younger you said.

How do you handle feeling behind in life?
Feeling “behind” is such a weird illusion. Like, behind what, exactly? A fake milestone checklist some invisible voice made up? I have to remind myself that progress isn’t always linear...AND life isn’t a competition. I’ve done so many things that younger me would be proud of. That counts for s

After suffering so much abuse in my life, he is the person who from the moment he hugged me I felt every little piece just merge together and I felt whole. He has so much patience, kindness, and goofiness to him and no matter what we’re going through we make sure to take care of each other. Learnin

What Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self?
1) Boys suck, stay away from them for as long as possible. 2) Just because he is older than you, does not mean you can pull. He is just a weirdo. Like actually. 3) It’s not worth the energy or the tears to compare yourself to your classmates bodies. Everyone is different. 4) This small town is
