Conversation with My Past Self (DP#279)

Daily writing prompt
What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?

If I could somehow go back and talk with my 20-year old self, I would have a few things to say for sure.

For one, I would say that it is okay to not go to university after I graduate community college, especially for what I am planning on going for. Just having wasted all that time and money for literally nothing. I know I would feel better not having to pay student loans at this point lol.

I would also let my younger self know that even though I may feel far away from God at this point, we will come back and our faith will get stronger. In fact, I would push myself to come back quicker since it would make certain loss to come, so much easier to handle.

Speaking of loss I would push myself to spend more time with certain individuals like my grandma, aunt and even dad. Try to make those relationships work a bit because the regret laid heavy on my heart for a long while, and still does from time to time.

I would tell myself to slow down as well. I have always struggled with the whole rushing through life thing which I feel pushed me to make some bad decisions. Ultimately, I would want myself to enjoy my time as much as possible instead of worrying so much about making as much money as possible, or spit balling a career field to quickly jump into.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 28 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
