In my sits, I have been contemplating the woman I am becoming. I think I really like her – she’s a better listener, much less reactionary.

A tendency I have is to jump to try to solve problems and not be fully engaged in a conversation.

My future self understands that people share issues for a variety of reasons, and needing help resolving the issue is just one option. I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know my future self, and she is guiding me to subtle changes I need to make now to get to where I want to be, starting with resisting the urge to jump to problem-solving and not miss an opportunity to give support and love.
