Facebook's "on this day" can be a lot of fun. Sometimes I'm reminded of my silly kids. Other times I see how much I have changed. And then there are moments when looking back is painful. When life was hard.
This particular post was none of those. Rather it was a reminder of right before life got crazy. I had no idea how little I would care about nail biting, or how short my nails would end up by the next year.
Looking back made me think, what if I could warn myself? What would I tell past me? Would I warn myself?
I don't think so, ignorance is bliss. Besides until you go through pain you can't really understand it. I don't think there is a way to prepare for life's struggles. So instead I just laugh at myself, my ignorance, my small sense of happiness.
