Younger Me 🥰🥲 My story!

I absolutely love this trend. My name is Grace and I grew up an amazing family. I have two brothers Gus and Thomas and a loving mom and a dad. I was a lucky girl growing up and had an amazing family. Though my parents divorced when I was in fourth grade. It was messy but my parents did their best to give us an amazing life. I grew up, loving sports like Irish dance lacrosse and field hockey. I was obsessed with Justin Bieber and music. I was bullied in middle and high school but made the best of it by doing things I enjoyed and keeping to myself. Now, I live with my boyfriend, have a dog and just got an amazing job!

I’m very family oriented and will always put family first. They’re the best!! I’m happy now and I know younger me would be proud. #mybirthstory #lemon8challenge

... Read moreGrowing up involves navigating through various challenges and opportunities that shape who we become. For many, including myself, family plays a crucial role in providing support during tough times. The experience of my parents’ divorce in fourth grade was a pivotal moment. Though it was challenging, my brothers and I learned resilience. In addition to familial support, pursuing passions such as sports and music provided an outlet for personal expression. Whether it was the rhythm of Irish dance or the excitement of lacrosse, these activities helped mitigate the impact of bullying experienced throughout middle and high school. Now, as I enjoy life with my boyfriend and cherish moments with our dog, I feel a deep appreciation for my journey. Reflecting on my younger self, I realize the importance of taking pride in one's journey, embracing both the struggles and victories, and encouraging others to do the same. Sharing stories connects us, bridging gaps and illuminating diverse experiences. Let's celebrate our journeys together!

You were such a gorgeous child truly. Honestly you kind of remind me of the youngest daughter in “full house” (blanking on the name now) but truly so beautiful both inside and out.

To younger me
After 9 years moving out, I have changed a lot. I become more quiet and independent. I dare to face all challenges and solve the problems myself. Sometimes, I am so exhausted but I do not give up and I'm proud of that. I believe that if a door is closed, there is another door opened for you, so

There was once a younger version of you who prayed for the life you’re living now. She prayed for healing. She prayed for peace. She prayed to make it through the hard seasons. She prayed to become the person God was calling her to be. And even if you don’t feel “there” yet, take a moment

Dear Younger Me…
Making this post really hit me I didn’t realize how much I still carried until I started writing. Healing your inner child isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to be someone else. “You didn’t deserve that, and I’m sorry no one protected you.
