A Few Words Of Advice To Someone Younger...
Remember your roots. Whether they be family or folks that are like family, hold on to these people. They love you and will be there when the rest of the world walks away. If they do something you appreciate, tell them. This only encourages them to be there for you in bigger and better ways than you can ever imagine.
Use your wings. Get out in the great big world and see what is there. Say YES and live life with gusto. Never stop learning and always be kind whenever you can.
If you have to have conflict, address it head on. Don't candy coat things or try to hard to avoid the conflict. After naming it, be prepared to solve the discourse and seek win-win answers. EASIER said than done, but totally worth the effort you will put in.
Give yourself and those around you lots of grace and mercy. Forgive easily and learn from those painful situations. Listen and listen well to your own voice and those of others. Set goals and never stop evolving into an amazing human that is genuinely likable.
