A few weeks ago I was having lunch with a new friend and I made a comment about how I was in high school and she didn't believe me. I wasn't the most pleasant girl in my teenage years, it's a miracle that I met my husband there and that I was able to maintain my dearest friendship. Sometimes I want to ask them what they saw in me haha I'm grateful for having grown and I just want to make sure I convey these things to my little girl one day.
