Daily writing prompt
If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say?
If I had a time machine I would tell my past self this:
“This message is from the future you. Future you has Borderline Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder and alcoholism; so do this: after high school continue to live at home and while working and saving for university spend a year in therapy to help deal with these complex mental health issues so they don’t change the direction of your life; then dive deep into secondary school studies to pursue your dream of becoming a Marine Biologist who eventually becomes part of a global team to protect and conserve whales, dolphins and sharks. Your future husband is Michael Millette. In 2014, travel to Campbell River, BC and find him. Love, future you.”
I hope I listen!

This moved me so much, Stephanie. Your honesty about the mental health challenges, your refusal to abandon your dream, and that beautiful message from your future self to your past self, I hope you’re listening. You deserve that life. 🌻
