ridemariel's Journal, 23 July 2021

I am once again sitting in the hospital they like me so much they commanded my presence again today I came across an article on what you would tell your younger self I had a lot of time to kill I would tell my younger self not to get pregnant at 16 and nine months later another pregnancy would I give up my kids hell no I was very lucky I had a sister that encouraged me so I self-taught myself in many areas she made sure I had one of the first computers which was my saving Grace I was very good at it did I have s*** jobs yes child care was cheap back then 8 years later I had my third son eight years after that my baby girl after 20 years of marriage I called it quit it's 50/50 in every relationship and if it isn't there you're a fool not to move on I started at the bottom of my company and worked myself up to a very senior position which involved moving quite often I find the only thing I would not do is let my daughter talk me into letting her serve her country as she was my baby but she excelled there's probably lots of things I left out

Thanks for sharing this. I could write a long book for my younger self, and That self would not have listened. May you be well and may you get home soon.

Each generation tries to help the younger ones not to make our same mistakes, but they seldom listen so we, society, are continually dealing with the same socio and economic issues we have always had. Each generation just has to learn the hard way.

Thank you for this awesome question in self reflection. I would tell my younger self to listen more, embrace other's cultures with love but do not conform to the traditions of others in my worship to God. I spent too many years trying to figure out how to worship authentically. Which caused me to step into my calling years later because I questioned if my calling was God or self. So at 43 I'm telling my family what I believed God was telling me to have family elders remember me I declared the same thing when I was 8 years old and got talked out of it by adult outsiders that I taught were more spiritually connected. Submit to God in all that we do and He will open doors, bring the training, and give us the tools we lack. But trust God more than people.

you've got this, you've conquered so much and probably so much more that you haven't shared. sending you love and some extra strength!

What a great overview of your life. You leave me afraid to ask about your baby. I hope it is that she is just away and you are missing her. No doubt I have my mom palpitations with all the headlines the ship was on was generating in the 70s and early 80s. But no doubt you are so proud of her as well. Glad to have you as a friend up here.

I would tell myself "Don't marry an asshole." Man, doing that was brutal!

I hope you’re better soon. I would tell myself to be true to myself instead of being who I thought other people wanted me to be.

Wow! so beautiful...Your start may not have went the way you wanted but your an example that you don't have to give up, your testimony is very inspiring, God has been good to you, faith without work is dead, so it also took you with a determined mind to make & live your best life that you possibly can ...Smiles, you're truly successful & victorious. God bless you & your entire family. Have a spectacular week Mariel.
