I met my younger self for coffee today. We both arrived early. Always been anxious about being late. She’s in her early 20s and I’m now 39. She ordered a frozen mocha so did I. Some things never change. She smiled with her mouth closed insecure of her teeth. I now give the biggest smiles teeth and all. She tell me she struggles with her relationship with parents. I tell her let it go and just LOVE them because both mom and dad are going to pass away by the time you’re 36. She tells me she doesn’t know if she will ever find true love. I tell her I’m happily married to a man who shows me love everyday for the past 18 years. We have two sons who are also the love of our lives! She tells me one of her biggest fear is losing our cat Sunrise. I tell her Sunrise is still alive! He has cancer and he’s 16 years old but he got colon cancer surgery and he’s okay! She tells me she has nothing to live for. I tell her you have everything to live for! Your husband, two sons and three fur babies are your purpose. She asked will I ever feel like I belong? I tell her sometimes, but sometimes it’s a struggle. I tell her everything is going to be okay and life is always going to be filled with ups and downs.
