Have you ever woken up and realized you're not the person you thought you'd be? When I was younger, I had this image of my life in my head. What I'd be doing, where I'd be, who I'd be with... And I'm not living in that picture.
In some ways, it's disappointing. I've made mistakes I'm ashamed of. I've hurt people who didn't deserve it. I've let great opportunities slip through my fingers. There are a lot of things I wish I'd done differently. And I'll never be able to.
But my sometimes epic failures have taught me at least one important lesson. There are people in my life who see past who I've been; they see who I can be. And even though I'm nowhere near perfect, they love me just the same.
That's more than I could ever ask for.
