Funny Follows Me

Yes, I would go back to being 16 and teach that young girl that it’s ok to speak my mind and to be the fearless, ferocious blunt person that I have become.

Some days, I think back to when my life derailed. It derailed multiple times to learn lessons but I was a very shy girl who was brought up in a Italian family. I was bribed to stay at home and commute to college. Big mistake (like the scene from Pretty Woman). I did what was told of me. Fear was my life.

Now, I just jump into life and take risks because life is ticking away and see clearly now that fearing death is futile.

At 16, I feared everything and didn’t pursue a boy who I had love at first sight with.

Life would be different now if I had the balls I had now to pursue life and not fear.
