Just 10 years ago
Husband free. Kid free. Had a crazy cush job. A job people would kill for. Traveled on vacations all over eastern and western Europe, Maui, Peru, Aruba and more. Had monthly massages and pedicures! And zero worries!
If I could tell the future me what I was in store for:
🔹You thought being tan made you prettier. But, you’ll be dealing with major sunspots on your face and cleavage wrinkles that will do the opposite.
🔹You won’t travel anymore. Traveling to the butcher is as glamorous as it gets. And they don’t serve you fruity umbrella drinks.
🔹You’ll get married. To him. I know, you said you never wanted to get married. But, he’ll change your mind.
🔹You’ll have children, even when you thought you couldn’t.
🔹You’ll lose a child. And your life will absolutely never be the same again. You will now know the greatest pain in the whole world.
🔹You will go years without visiting a salon and your eyebrows will look like David Hemmings in the Gladiator. (Look it up)
🔹You will be your own boss. I know it’s super scary, but there will be a time when all your hard work will go to you and not a big company.
🔹You’ll be broke. Like broke, broke. Your six-figure salary will turn into six-figure debt and then some.
🔹Your peaceful, restful nights will turn into functioning daily on 4 hours of sleep.
🔹You’ll never pee alone again.
It sounds awful, doesn’t it? But here’s the return:
🔸You won’t be lonely anymore.
🔸Your heart just might explode from too much love.
🔸 You’ll raise your kids like you were raised. On a farm. Loving animals. Learning way more than a book could ever teach them.
🔸You will have more passion for your business than most people can even wrap their heads around.
🔸You WILL be successful because there’s a need for what you and your husband are building.
🔸You’re building a legacy. (That’s what we hope anyway 😉)
So go ahead and bank your sleep now, dark-circle-free Jennie. The future is waiting for you to show the world what you’re made of.
