You can’t expect to always have another set of hands.   Y

Emma's Enlightements This Week’s Advice: Looking Back and Falling Forward.   Welcome back! Even though it’s an adjustment going back and forth, I hope everyone had a much needed, restful break. I had a lot to think about during my time back home.  Over the break, I learned something important: you can look back, but don’t fall back.  I was by myself for a while, and I was thinking way too much.   I started missing people I shouldn’t have and falling back into old habits of s
