Hi there.
In ten years my life will be so much different than it is right now. My surroundings may be different, but I’ll always be the same me. Just with different experiences and new growth. I will never let the world harden me.
I’m excited about change. To look back in ten years and think about how different life was back then. My family won’t be so little. Nathan will be 18 and C.C will be 16. In ten short years, I’ll be stronger, successful, bold, and not afraid of what’s to come.
Amidst all the change, I hope some things never do. I hope that I never lose my passion for helping others. I hope my family is still as close as we are now. I hope I never have to lose a best friend ever again.
In ten years I’ll be stronger. I will no longer worry about what others think of me. As long as I’m loving, supportive and giving, judgment shouldn’t worry me.
In ten years I’ll have pushed myself. Never given up on my dreams and continued my passion. You will no longer allow tests to stop you from following your dreams.
I can’t imagine how much growth you’ll have in ten years. I want to inspire people around me. I want them to look at everything I’ve gone through and say, “I can do it too!” Keeping my cup overflowing so I can continue to share with others.
In ten years you won’t care about what “Becky” from work said to you. The little things you’re holding onto right now, you won’t even remember. You’ll learn how to let things go that don’t benefit you. If it won’t matter in ten years, why are you spending more than ten minutes worried about it?
You love your dog so much. And in ten years she’ll be 17, and the likelihood of her still being with you is slim. But you’ll get through it. She gave you so much strength while with you and you’ll take that strength. You’ll remember all the good times. Open your heart up to another dog and show it the love that it deserves. Adopt if you can, remembering all the dog’s people give up on.
Your life right now is a beautiful, amazing mess. In ten years it’ll still be beautiful. Allow your life to change without changing who you are. Life is so short and the older you get the more you realize this.
You got this.
