“I feel like I’m twelve years old, and often think, When I grow up… Then I see a photograph of myself, and realize: Holy crap. I am grown up. The gap between chronological age and emotional age is a real preoccupation for me. As a kid, I felt old. As an adult, I feel like a kid. we joke around that being a kid means feeling carefree. My childhood was far from that. As an adult, I’ve had my share of grown-up problems. But inside, a little kid wants to go out and play. I get really excited about chocolate. I love animals (especially weird-looking ones) and as previously noted, anything shiny and sparkly.”

9 years ago today was hands down the worst, most horrific day of my life to date. This day has haunted me every year since.

Usually, I know when its coming up. I sense it. I get moody, distant, sad, withdrawn. I dread it every year. The sad reminder of the day my life so drastically changed with one phone call.

Today, I was at work updating the “daily board” in one of my patients rooms. We have to write the date and our names etc. I wrote the date: Thursday, August 2 2012. And it took me a moment to understand the significance of this date. Once I realized, I was so shocked because typically I know when this day is approaching.

As the day went on, I kept thinking about my life 9 years ago. And all the things that happened on that day. And I kept wishing that 22 year old me could go back and hold 13 year old me and say, Christina, its okay to be sad and confused and angry. But you listen to me. 9 years from now, you’re gonna have your bachelor degree. And you’re gonna work as an RN on a cardiac floor and your gonna change lives. So don’t let this kill your spirit. Don’t let it break your soul. You’re too young to be this broken and there are too many great things ahead of you to feel discouraged.

You know, I love knowing that life is always changing. It’s the scariest concept that there is. Change, I mean. But… Think about how different my day was this August 2nd compared to August 2nd 9 years ago. It just makes me wanna remind myself that with every bad thing that happens, it won’t be bad forever. That exact day a few years later could be the best of your life. So though its okay to be sad for a period of time, just try and remember things will change. They always do.
