possible

Recently I turned the ripe old age of 31. When I think back to where I was at 21, I can only wish I knew then what was possible for me 10 years down the road. So, to my 21 year old self - here's what's possible:

- you CAN be in a marriage where not every day is high drama. Your partner CAN be your best friend who enjoys spending time with you and making you happy. I know, what a concept!!
- you CAN be responsible for bringing a life into this world and you can look at that little face and marvel at how completely you love her.
- you CAN be a working 9 to 5 girl and have a great home life. You'll be a bit tired, but satisfied and fulfilled.
- you CAN buy lots of shoes.
- you CAN have that BMW you always dreamed of.
- You CAN have girlfriends that build you up, not tear you down.
- You CAN say no to a friendship that is unhealthy.
- You CAN accept that your parents aren't perfect, and love them for trying to be!
- You CAN look at yourself in the mirror and say "I love me" instead of "who do I want to be?"
