Translation:
Life. The way it looked. It's been ups and downs. Slowly - very slowly - I've learned how to be me. Many probably saw me as a confident and strong person, because I've always refused to shut up. But deep inside, I've been scared and worried. At least the first 50 years. Now I am stronger and more confident. There, in the deepest parts in me. There, within, where it is for real.
I love life-reflection pages like this, and I especially enjoyed your journaling about the wisdom that comes with maturity. Your background is a wonderful setting for the story.
Love seeing the through-the-years photos. One of my most favorite kind of pages to find in the gallery. Wonderful journaling about how time has changed you. Beautifully done!!
