2 Peter 3:8
Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
Amen.
If I could speak to my 13-year-old self, I would say this:
1. Don’t worry about your dad; he is going to be alright
2. It’s okay to be a kid; you have plenty of time to grow up
3. Don’t worry about saving for college; you end up putting the degrees in your garage
4. The 9-5 is a gateway, not an end goal
5. Start going to the gym; your body will thank you later
6. Everything you wish for will come true; it just doesn’t follow that insane timeline in your head
7. We do end up having that family we were wishing for, and it’s everything you imagined
8. Get rid of the bowl cut, it’s not doing us any favors (we lose our hair anyway)
9. Learn to save money; we spend way too much on things that won’t matter in 5 years
10. Breathe and appreciate these moments; all of them are beautiful and deserve your full attention
