Download or read book Things I Would Have Said to My Younger Self written by Cherita Ann Bloodwirth and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things I Would Have Said to My Younger Self is a collection of personal quotes that I started writing over 25 years ago. I wanted to share how my life experiences helped me find a path to becoming a better, stronger and more real version of myself. Now, I get to share my mistakes, revelations and hard lessons that I learned with all of you. As a child, I was always doing something that required an apology. Too often I would go to my mom and tell her how sorry I was and that I would never do whatever it was again... I was always sorry about something. If I lied, or was unpleasant, or said I completed a chore and didn't, I would apologize.I treated an apology like a "fix it" for everything. I was sorry but not really, but saying it should take care of the problem. But I think I was about eight years old when I heard my mom say a short but powerful statement to me (my first quote) that would impact my behavior and change how she saw me. It came after one of my many self-pity episodes, I attempted to apologize to her and she stopped me with a stare of nonacceptance and she said, "With an apology comes change." With that statement of truth, I felt exposed. The script I had prepared and plan to deliver to my audience of one was rejected. My acting career was over and now it was me that I had to convince. Her words of conviction and rejection were powerful, because it demanded her to change too. She could no longer be willing to accept another one of my empty apologies. She was done and so was I. What I realized was words had power, especially when they are intentionally linked together to provoke change. For me, quotes stir and steer the human spirit, they inspire, rebuke, teach, uplift, encourage, provoke, transform, motivate, release, sharpen, correct and debunk all of the litter that lays quietly within us-the parts of ourselves we learn to hide. Ironically, it is the unwanted, dark and ugly parts that help us change, grow and connect.
