One thing I would say to myself would be to keep a hold on the diaries/journals. To keep the pictures and the drawings. All of them. The good and the bad. To keep evidence of her life story because it all shaped her to who she becomes.

As time goes on, the past becomes forgetful and memories could be remembered differently. Life and experiences are beautiful and difficult sometimes that maybe we’d prefer to forget. Maybe that’s where lessons come in and times to reflect on what occurred. Some things are harder than others. No one experiences the same things as others either. People see things differently with their eyes. Process things differently. It’s what makes us human. There could be abuse and trauma but I hope we can all come out of it. Come out of the darkness. All we need is time, patience, and love.
