When people ask ‘what advice would you give to your younger self’ I struggle, because I don’t think learning works that way. At least, it doesn’t for me. So many people had told me cautionary tales about one thing or another, but it wasn’t until I was the one telling my OWN cautionary tale that I had learned my lesson from it. Growing up I heard ‘don’t take drugs, they’re bad’ but it wasn’t until I’d experienced my own hell of the drink/drug cycle and came out the other side when I thought ‘hey, wow, drugs really are bad’ 😂. I shouldn’t laugh, but when I’m given the perspective of giving my younger self advice I do, because she wouldn’t have listened to a word I said 😂. I’m still learning about all kinds of things, and honestly, I am still not great at taking advice. Maybe that’s true for all of us. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can literally describe each of the life lessons that got me to where I am right now and, weirdly, I don’t think there’s any I’d change. One thing I do make sure I do is look back at my younger self with compassion and understanding, because my younger self deserves that. ❤️ My advice to my younger self: “You’re on the right path, you hard-headed little moron. I love you.” . . . . . . #soberissexy #soberlife #soberliving #sobermovement #tranformation #transformationtuesday #sober #lgbt #gaywomen #sobergay #oodat
