• To be the first one on the dance floor
• To move across the country for a chance at something
• To go through a little pain knowing that the final result will be great
• To let go when I have to
• To tell my story truthfully
• To let my baby push herself a little bit out of both our comfort zones
• To push myself a little bit out of my comfort zone
• To let myself be heard
• To share my pain
• To cut a newborn baby’s fingernails
• To try

I wish I were brave enough

• To always be honest with myself
• To hold on when I need to
• To push myself instead of waiting for someone to push me
• To claim the decisions I make for her and declare them to be right
• To just love and damn the consequences
