Herewith, three “gifts” this 40-something woman would give a 20-something if she were a “Forty-Godmother”. What are yours?
~1~
The luxury to have a gap year. Whether it be before college, after college or in between jobs…some time to explore and travel and learn unhinged from responsibility.
~2~
An internal rudder. Never be a chameleon, changing to match the whims or interests of boyfriends or others. Be open to change but stay true to yourself.
~3~
To challenge yourself. Ask yourself tough questions early and often. Don’t float through your 20s never dealing to issues or ignoring empty spaces. Enjoy life but learn from it. Better now than later.
