Love this whole take. I’ve been wanting to write something similar after an experience I had last year with my therapist. We did an exercise and while I was “under” I was in my teenage house and when I got to the kitchen, 9 year old me was at the stove cooking with the BIGGEST grin on his face and he was so excited to see me and so proud of me! It flipped the question “if you could go back and give your young self advice, what would you give?” (Which I’d asked several times on my podcast) on its ear. What would your young self say to you if they got to see your life today? It really transformed me. I always feel like I should’ve done so many things differently and that I haven’t done enough. But when I see it through his eyes… he’s in awe of all I’ve done. But I really love this coffee date with yourself. I’m noodling for my next essay X
Yes. I need to remember to visit my younger self. We tend to forget where we have come from and how much we can still learn. Too often chasing after our future selves. Beautiful. Real. So relatable. 💕
What a beautiful piece of writing Sarah. I found it so real and very moving to read. There's so much wisdom we could share with our younger selves if only we had the chance x
