I remember as a young girl, wanting so badly to be part of 90210. I was young, naive and yes, worshipped what I saw. We were living in Northern Cali. I was a Valley Girl.
However, I was also spiraling downward. My home life was chaos. I hung with the wrong crowd. I did a lot if stuff to "impress" them or stand out, look brave, etc... I took a lot of things really personal (still do). The death of River Phoenix, Kurt Cobain, and a boy I dated (he drowned), was like a volcano in my head.
I hit rock bottom in 1993, I was 13/14.
My mom sent me to live with my father.
I went from CA to WI. I cannot tell you what shock culture that was! 😳🤯😱
It saved my life though. I learned a lot. Not just what to do, but what not to do. I was able to have opportunities, I didn't in Cali. I also jumped on them.
I realize now, God knows best. We don't. We cannot see the whole picture. He gave me an unanswered prayer. It saved my life, it changed my life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
