I’m an 80 year old waking up in my 28 year old body
Heavy on the gratitude lately because the reason why it’s easier to share the great parts is because you don’t really ever think you’ll see to the other side so you keep sharing the fun parts. I’ve never taken time to realize it wasn’t my life that changed, it was me. Somehow and at some point, things consumed the very thing I was trying to mask. But here in this place, I didn’t have to until I started to compare and see where everyone was at and what they were doing. It looked less scary and more easier. But 80 year old me reminded me that your story is your greatest weapon. Share more so here I am. I hope you any woman at any stage can relate to the joys of this time. This moment, and this year you’re living in.
