My friend is 59 and never wanted children , yet lately she opens up to me about how much she regrets that decision, wishing she had at least one. And there I am, a father myself, quietly wondering what my life would have looked like if I had chosen differently too.
In the end, I reminded her of what Kierkegaard once said: no matter which path you choose in life, you will always find a reason to regret it. The road not taken has a way of looking more beautiful the longer you stare at it.
MORNING OFFERING
God, our Father, I offer You my day. I offer You my prayers, thoughts, words, actions, joys and sufferings in union with Your Son Jesus’ Heart, who continues to offer Himself in the Eucharist for the salvation of the world.
May the Holy Spirit, Who guided Jesus, be my guide and my strength today so that I may witness to Your love and achieve all that I have set out for this day. Amen🙏🏽
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst all women, & blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.🙏🏾
Have a lovely day 😊
Mary, Humble Handmaid of the Lord, pray for us that we may remain humble in success and patient in failure. Help us never to boast in achievements or despair in setbacks, but always to trust in God’s plan. Amen🙏🏽

That thread was necessary, as a girl in her young 20s I'm awakened to the fact that:
1. You can always be more
2. Whatever you pursued for undergraduate doesn't have to necessarily determine your Masters or PhD
3. Black women are more than the eyes meet
4. There's no academic limit, you can keep on going and going and going
So a letter to my 10 years self from now, "represent us well, Ik you can"
