I got married at 19

To add my voice, I'm with the same person I was with when I was 15. It's been... 26 years now.

It's been a long journey.

The thing is - you grow up together. All those life events? They're not over because you're committed. They can be better.

I recommend what other Redditors have advised: start journaling. Write out your hopes and dreams. What do you want out of life? What do you want to do one day? Dream big. Don't be afraid to aspire.

Then talk to your partner. Some of those things you can do sooner than later! Open communication is the key.

Self care is important too. I think therapy is always good, no matter who you are. It helps you find your center.

So breathe. It's going to be okay. And be excited! You have your whole life ahead of you - so much potential! You have such an adventure ahead. Best of luck. ❤️
