Don't do that! I hope everything is ok with you. In answer to your question, 19 is too late. I was already married. Wait, that sounds bad... Yes, I did notice that you were missing. Don’t do that!

In answer to your question, 19 is too late. I was already married. Wait, that sounds bad…

(damn that uneffective birth control...lol) side note: i LOVE my children dearly, and couldn't imagine life without them. i just wish i had known how to love them AND myself from the beginning... wow, so what WOULDN’T i tell myself… there is so much that has happened in the last 10 years that i think i would probably lose my 19 year old mind if i knew it all. but one of the most important things for me would probably be the most contraversial points for a mom. i would have told myself to wait to have kids. i honestly wasn’t ready, and have had a ton of undue stress and self confidence issues because of it. don’t get me wrong, there are no regrets because i am a better person to have learned the hard way, but i think i should’ve been more aware of what i was getting into and had alot more growing up to do first.

I agree with everything said here! Looking back, I'd definitely try not to be so hard on myself or to take things too personally. Kristy Great post Nicole and well said!

I could almost guarantee most of the world has said that at one pt or another. If I could have read this 10 years ago I'm not sure I would have listened then but to read this now, I really would like to believe that if I could go back I would have listened. If I could go back and give myself some advice, I would have told myself that life goals and education is very important because now I pray for some kind of security that I'm not sure I will have. I would have told myself that no one deserves to hurt me and if they tried I should immediately push them out of my life. I would have taught myself to be stronger and have more confidence in myself. Lastly I would have told myself to reject fear, that fear is just hatred towards yourself. With all that said, I would like to thank Nicole for posting this and helping me to teach myself now what I should have taught myself 10 years ago. :) How many ppl say “If I could just go back and do some things a lil different”?
