Nope. I did what traumas and society wanted me to. I didn't start living intentionally until I was 30. I'm making much better decisions, I think, but I'm following through on my commitments because I want to be a person who follows through. That's even if my prior commitments were made with incomplete information.

A lot, A LOT, of my life decisions were made in fear and anxiety, on incomplete or incorrect information. I know better, now, and am trying to break the cycle for my kids.
