The past, with its loves and hates, memories and regrets, joys and laughter, never really is gone. It hides in the shadows of our souls, waiting to remind us that the decisions, the choices, the "coulda, shoulda, woulda" times are the things that ultimately help us grow into the person we truly need to be. Enjoy this time - your youth - and relish all your experiences. You are beautiful, you are brave, you are a formidable woman!
