Things We Forget

  • Growth

    I’ll be content, but never complacent. Growth isn’t about chasing more—it’s about becoming more.

  • Helping Hands

    In three years, I’ll try to have built something that helps others—maybe through words, maybe through action. Impact will replace insecurity.

  • Move Cities?

    Maybe I’ll move to Kenosha. Maybe I won’t. But the essence of who I am will stay—hopeful, curious, unafraid to begin again.

  • Priorities

    No overbooked weeks or burnout weekends. My schedule will reflect my priorities, not my people-pleasing.

  • Truth

    I’ll care less about getting everything right, and more about doing what feels true. This could be dangerous, or get me in trouble, so it would have to be done…

  • Comfort

    In three years, self-acceptance won’t be my practice—it’ll be my lifestyle. Comfort in my own company will be the greatest peace.

  • Truth

    I won’t water myself down to be small. I’ll speak the truth, even if my voice shakes.

  • Mentor Mode

    By then, I’ll be the person I once needed—someone who listens deeply, helps freely, and believes fully. What will your life be like in three years? Comment to let me…

  • Healed

    My words will no longer come from pain—they’ll come from understanding. Healing will be my co-author.

  • More Adventures, Fewer Excuses

    Three years from now, I’ll stop saying “someday” and start saying “why not today?”
