If I had to tell my younger self anything, it would be this:
All those things you are hoping and praying for…they’re not going to happen
All the dreams you hold close to your heart – you will waste your time on them
The seeds you will sow with a good heart – will be a waste as pearls before swine
The people you trust now – will prove to be unworthy
The good you believe is part of the Church – will turn out to be a show
And the biggest takeaway I would tell my younger self – is that not every Hannah is blessed with her baby
At this point – I have no positive words for her – as I look back I see that none of it was worth it
I want to tell her she’s wasting her time – and her gifts – on all the wrong people
And I wonder if the next half of my life will be worth it – time will tell
