"To the fabulous future me,
Retrospect is a funny thing. If there are two things I have learned this far, it is that: 1) those tough life-defining decisions don't go away as adulthood progresses – they just get trickier. 2) There will always be a path not taken, and I am reconciled to the fact that I will always wonder about that path. That being said, I am writing to a future me who will have undoubtedly journeyed through a couple of very big decisions with which I am currently wrestling. In true-to-life fashion, there will be a road not taken. Are you wondering about that road? From this side of these decisions, I can already see you over there wondering of the could-bes and what-abouts.However, I want to remind us both of a few things. 1) Family is most important. Always. What is best for family is undoubtedly the most important path. 2) But it's still okay to mourn the path not taken a little bit – let it teach and fuel passion rather than tear down and destroy hope. 3) There will likely always be people who don't understand...and that's okay. Don't take it personally. It's easy for me to say here and now as I almost always stress about this. But I hope and pray that the steps I take today and tomorrow and the next day will make it just a bit easier for you to let go of taking the opinion of others so incredibly personal. 4) Today: Smile, go and do a random act of kindness, and have a coffee. (Also: Call Mom.) Life is good. With Love & Good Intentions, Me (You)"
