... Read moreCoffee is often a symbol of reflection, connection, and conversation. When we meet our younger selves, it's like looking back at the questions we once had and the growth we’ve achieved since then. This exploration isn't just about reminiscing; it fosters self-awareness and encourages us to appreciate the journey toward becoming the person we are today. In recent years, many have engaged in similar self-reflective discussions, often on social media platforms, collaborating to share their thoughts on the changes they’ve experienced. The movement encourages us all to embrace vulnerability and acknowledge our past selves. By recognizing the struggles we faced, we can cultivate a better understanding of our goals moving forward. Finding happiness and resilience is vital, especially as we navigate life's challenges. In doing this exercise, we discover a much deeper sense of purpose and clarity about who we want to become in the future. Moreover, incorporating practices like journaling or discussing our past experiences with friends can enhance this transformative process. Through these reflections, like enjoying a warm cup of coffee, we create a space for personal enlightenment and growth.

I met my younger self for coffee today. She was 17. Quiet, eyes wide with questions she didn’t know how to ask out loud. She sat in my favorite rocking chair on the patio, the one I share with the love she didn’t know was about to find her years later. She looked at me like she wasn’t sure I

She showed up half an hour early. I was right on time, no time to waste. She ordered a mocha frappucino. I ordered coffee straight up and black. Her hair was pin straight and dyed. Mine was naturally curly and dark brown. I saw her shifting in her seat, insecure of her appearance. I

She doesn’t know why she can’t keep friends. She doesn’t know why her honesty is a bad thing, she still doesn’t. She doesn’t know why she’s just not enough. She doesn’t know she’s going to struggle with infertility. She doesn’t know that her sweet baby brothers are going to struggle with addiction.

Your Younger Self Is Proud Of You 🤍
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
