There's a question many interviewers ask their subjects that I find very intriguing. Posed mostly to famous people, older celebrities who claim to know a thing or two as they look back in retrospect, that question is:
"If you could, what would you tell your Younger Self?"
If I could, I'd tell my Younger Self,
"It's okay not to know who you are in your twenties. It is the rare few who do.
Whatever you do, go and see as much as you can while you are young and unattached. Travel the world for it is in those adventures, your Authentic Self will emerge.
While it's true the world will always be there (or so we hope!) to explore, it is infinitely easier to travel freely and unencumbered by responsibilities and kid$.
And for goodness sake, quit worrying about finding The One...and marriage. You have the rest of your life to be married...if that's what you ultimately want.
Life will unfold accordingly, the good, bad and ugly. But all of it will serve you well and you will survive to become who you are today."
With all its bumps and travails, life did unfold and I'm all the better for having wondered and wandered.
