As a kid, you must have imagined what it was like to be an adult. Now that you’re a grownup (or becoming one), how far off was your idea of adult life?
❤
As I child I pictured freedom as an adult. Freedom from a very dominating person. Freedom to make my own decisions. Every-time I experienced or saw harm being done, I promised myself that I would never be like that when I was grown up. I would never intentionally harm, dominate or abuse another.
I am grateful for hope. I always had a little candle of hope burning in my soul which helped me see the light.

When you make a choice to be a certain way as an adult, it is often easier to be that person – instead of just sliding into it.
Well said, that is true.

Some of us know exactly what we will be when we grow up. Good for YOU. ❤
Thank you Tess ❤

Hope with a positive attitude helps one in overcoming adversity. May what you have shared in this post, be a light of hope for others too, Michelle. ❤
Thank you so much dear Iris ❤

I’m a brighter candle than I ever thought I would be. How blessed we are to illuminate others gifts. As a child, I never dreamed…
I am so pleased to hear that your candle burns brighter than ever, Eric.

That little candle was the difference between you and the children who don’t rise above. I’m glad it burned in you…..
Thank you so much for your kind and understanding words Genevieve ❤

Wonderful that the candle kept burning and led you to where you are today- that person you wanted to be, and you continued to have hope through that darkness. Now your light shines on its own.
I am grateful for that, thank you so much ❤

I didn’t have the same level of things to deal with as you but I too made plans within myself that I would marry a man who would love and cherish his children and be involved in their lives unlike my own father….Diane
Those were good plans Diane ❤

Never let that candle of hope burn out!
It is an eternal candle…

I love being an adult. I wouldn’t got back to my childhood for the whole world! Whenever I feel a little pushed around, I just remember the wise words of Beyonce: I’m a grown woman, I can do whatever I want.
