Loved this, Dave! Oh so many things I’d tell younger me:) Mainly that God will always, ALWAYS, come through, no matter what it looked like. Also definitely-fashion school is a phase. Skip it! Oh the 80s were weird…🤭haha

As always, Dave, well written and wisely said.

I would tell my younger self to chill; there's time and not everything is a drama.

Favorite part “I went for an oat milk latte. He asked how you milk an oat, fully expecting the whole café to erupt in laughter. Nobody did.”

Thank you so much! The pics are hilarious and slightly embarrassing (especially the first one! ) but its fun to look back with compassion!!! :)

Beautifully written and so cute the photo of you and the beautiful Leah.

I'd tell my younger self to just live each day, to really see the beauty in everything, appreciate the sounds and smells, and to always have dream's ✨️ what's meant for you won't pass you by.
