20 Years

So...just had/

survived my 20-year high school reunion. Wasn't planning on going, but very glad I had a change of heart. High school wasn't a good time for me. Insecure, isolated, pushing others away. I realized last night that everyone was going though the same struggles. It just felt so awful to me at the time...like no one could understand. I did have a handful of good friends who knew me and stood by me. I am strong, resilient, flexible, independent and spiritual. I am a mom, a caregiver, a best friend, a sister, an artist, a wife, a daughter... But most of all, me. I am on this life journey and wouldn't change a thing about my past or present.
