It's the stuff we all think but never say.

If only I could share this with myself 10 years ago... To say the least, I understand saying “I do” when you really should say “I don’t.” That was an expensive and miserable learning curve, but I truly think it was a necessary step in order for me to be in my current place in life. And it’s good. We make poor decisions throughout our lives to help us see more clearly and choose more wisely as we age. Sometimes it would be nice to Benjamin Button it though, wouldn’t it?🤪

That's a great way of putting it. Aging in reverse! So long as we learn from our mistaken, they are really valuable!

That was well worth the time to read. Unfortunately true that I have had my ups and downs with regard to my upbringing.

Thank you for your honesty and openness.

My pleasure ... We're all in the same boat, really. Just different specifics. I appreciate your feedback very much and I'm grateful that it was worth your effort. That's the highest compliment one can pay a writer!
