Hello Fall Series - What's one thing you would change about your past?
Happy rainy Tuesday! I had my ortho appointment today and will have some content to stitch into a new video on Sunday for my 'SimplyStrength' page so I'll save all the recapping for that video. Thanks for the engagement and views on my private YouTube channel guys! Tired, a bit messy from getting caught in the rain but all smiles because the last month of no running is almost over with!
What would I change about my past if I had control? It’s hard to pick just one because the biggest one to me would most likely be to meet Matthew sooner. Even though we both needed time to grow as individual people before we actually met, I still abide by the saying of “I wish I had met you sooner so I could love you longer.” Want to know a cool fact? Him and I actually walked at the same college commencement ceremony back in 2010 and my mom actually captured a picture of where him and I are standing together. I wonder what would have happened if I had just turned my head to see the cute guy in cap and gown sitting next to me and introduced myself. We will never know lol we were both actually dating different people at the same time who were probably with our families in the audience lol the world‘s a crazy place and it’s really cool how we didn’t meet a second too soon before we were supposed to.
The second item that I wish I could change about my past would be my career trajectory at the start of my 20s. I’ve talked about it before where my first career choice out of college was to go into teaching and that ultimately just didn’t fit me. I love kids, and I love school, so I thought blending the two of them together made perfect sense but it just didn’t. I really had no idea that my personality and skill set were a match for working in the medical field and eventually transitioning into the management space. I definitely love people and wish I had the confidence I have now when I was a college graduate. It’s fun to sometimes daydream about how different my life could be if I knew the things back then that I know now, but I’ve learned it’s a waste of time and you can hurt yourself by regretting some things out of your control. At the end of the day, I have no regrets though and have faith that all has fallen into place as God willed for my life. On that note, I’ve learned that there are two words in the English language that can either inspire hope or drive you mad and they are, “what if”.
I think that will be all for tonight. I had to be on campus again today and will only be working from home just one day this week due to external study sponsors coming to site to meet with me and the team with some big studies nearing completion. It's been a long week already and I can already tell I'll be treating myself to a nail appointment by Saturday morning lol my Halloween nails are already needing to go. Time for some reading before an early bed!
