What’s a small moment from your past that you still think about years later?
I still think about the little moments when I knew something felt off and let it slide anyway. A quick talk with my daughter brought those memories back and had me thinking about how I saw myself back then.
My self-esteem was low, and sometimes I wonder if I’d thought more highly of myself, would I have trusted my gut when I saw the red flags? Would I have walked away sooner? Even as a grown woman, I still ask myself why I let certain things go on for as long as I did.
I wish I’d had an adult sit me down and give me the kind of advice I give my daughter now. I want to build her confidence early so that when something feels off, she knows she can trust herself. And if she wants to walk away, I want her to know that’s okay too.
Funny how a quick talk with my daughter can make me think about all the things I wish someone had said to me at her age. 🌻
