Advice and Updates to My Teenage Self From My 31- and 40-Year-Old Self

,

I was digging through some old notes a few weeks ago and came across two lists I wrote back in 2014. I labeled the first as “some of the things I would love to tell teenagers today,” but if I’m being honest with myself, it’s a list of things I wish I could have gone back in time to tell myself when I was younger. The second is simply labeled “I don’t have all the answers,” and I think it’s a list I made thinking about my present and possible future.

I was 31 at the time I wrote these lists and wanted to share them, along with some thoughts in bold.

Reflections on Self-Discovery Through Daily Journaling and Morning Pages

This past Sunday, I was asked to participate in a collage service at my Unitarian Universalist church all about daily habits and practices. A collage service is when a few people are asked to provide a reflection on a single topic.

Even though I've only been going to this church for about 9 months, I found my ideas about religion and spirituality fit in quite nicely with the principles of UU, especially the 4th Principle — the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
