If only...

My life could have been!

If only I had loved myself more

If only I had left that relationship sooner

If only I had learned to listen to my own advice

My life could have been something quite nice

If only I had embraced my inner spirit more

If only I had left that situation sooner

If only I had listened to my heart

My life could have been a life of less distraught

If only I had put myself first more

If only I knew how to trust my own intuition sooner

If only I had learned to give myself to others a little less

My life could have been one with less mess

If only I had done what I have always wanted to more

If only I had stopped listening to those whose opinions did not matter sooner

If only I had stuck to my gut and didn't question myself

My life could have been filled with less self doubt

About the Creator

J.W. Baird

Who Am I?

I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.

I now search to find myself!
