You know how people always say, “If I could go back in time I would tell my younger self…bla bla bla”? Well oddly enough, I have that luck every Wednesday when I go the Goodwill looking for treasures. I go there often enough that I have gotten to know a few of the people who work there. There is a young lady, mid twenties, that reminds me so much of me when I was her age. It eerie how much she is like me. Often in conversation she tells me about the same fears or struggles that I went through at her age. I try not to push my advice on her too much, but I really hope she hears me. I look back often now and really wish I wasn’t so hard on myself. Hmmph… maybe I will try to be less hard on myself now. There is a thought. Yaaa… I won’t.
