Live for today!

When I was a teenager I lived in Europe. I traveled to London, Paris, Naples, and lived in Germany. Learned to drive on the Autobahn. This was my normal. I saw more before I was 21 than most people see in their entire lives. I was so ignorantly blessed. I wish I could just go back for a moment and watch myself enjoy life and enjoy the sights and sounds for just a moment more.

No Regrets

I would tell myself to have no regrets. You are going to make mistakes. You are going to fail. You are going to fall down and feel like you will never get up again, but you will. Do not regret one moment of your life. Do not regret one lesson you have learned. Everything you have ever done or will ever do has a purpose. Succeeding, failing, winning or losing everything has something to teach you so don’t regret anything. It will happen for a reason.

Finally, Thank You

Finally, I would tell my teenage self thank you for being strong and brave enough to face the world! For being fearless (on the outside..anyway) and always moving forward. Because of you, I am who I am today. Thank you.
