"I think that's it, that I want to live a life of service to other people, and that gives me happiness."

Words to live by ❤

Decaffeinated brew

Still warm and rich, yet gently calm

Sip in peace, mind clear.

Don’t hold the younger you to the standards you hold yourself to today. You didn’t know as much. You were in a different headspace, with different things affecting and scaring you, facing challenges that seemed big at the time. Maybe you were even lonelier. What’s important is that you know better now, and you know more now. That’s something to move forward with, not something to curse the past with.
