I was routing through some photos and I came across this one of me..taken 35 years ago this month on a night out in Londons West End. It brings back so many memories.
I was working as a Nanny..looking after three little girls just off the Kings Road. For a shy, naive girl..who had led a sheltered life in a small village in Wales.. my decision to move to a big city surprised everyone ..including me. It opened my eyes to a whole new world... and I grew up fast. Maybe it also gave the confidence years later..to jump on a plane and move 5000 miles to a new life in the US
I have no regrets for anything in my life..I truly believe there is a plan for all of us...and everything happens for a reason.. good and bad.
But.. looking at the 23 year old in the picture... I wonder what advice I would give her?
And... looking back...what would you have told your 23 year old self??
Cute pic! You would have been amazed at what would happen in your life in later years.
ReplyDeleteI love this post and seeing you at 23! I'm 72 and I wonder what I would tell my 23 year old self? For most of my life I have lived in a cope adn survial mode. I think I would have told the young Linda - you have a choice. You ALWAYS have a choice. I did not relize that until I was in my early 50's and it was not an easy lesson to learn but it changed my life and for the better.
