The older we’ve grown, the more I realize that I’ve made so many mistakes, and yet, I’m somehow surviving. All those sleepless nights and internal back and forths, I wish I could go back and tell you that life is unpredictable and messy and unforgiving, but it’s also incredibly amazing, fulfilling, and the greatest ride.

As much as it feels like you don’t know what you’re doing (and in some cases you don’t), understand that you are resourceful. You’re going to figure your way through this wonderful thing we call life, but if I can help you ease past just a few rough patches with some advice, then I’ll have done my job.

Live for everyday, help someone smile, and please… call your mom.

I love you.
