History Isn’t Important

Until all that you believe is shattered.

History is written by the victors. So, there’s always another side, a mystery to solve. Question everything, don’t just accept it.

Growing up, I was told all our church records were destroyed. My link to my past was gone. Don’t do what I did and just accept that. I regret not asking more questions and learning more. Do what matters and do it today.

Don’t take an opportunity for granted. Some day it could be too late, and you’ll never have that opportunity again. I procrastinated, there’s always a time I thought. And one day, there wasn’t.

Don’t let history, your history slip through your hands. Don’t let someone else write your history, they can’t tell it from your perspective. And don’t wait for tomorrow — the future starts today.
