Hey friends, thanks for tuning in to another episode of Tory Dealing With where each episode

is short, sweet, and the perfect thing to enjoy in the morning, just like your coffee.

One of the most beautiful things about being a human is that we have the ability to hold

memories.

We are not like most other animals who live in the moment, and obviously some animals

have amazing memories, but we can really dive deep back into our past and recall special

moments.

I can think back to when I was as young as two and a half years old, and I know I was

this age because my mom was pregnant with my brother at the time.

I saw her big belly cooking in front of the stove as she was whipping up something for

the family to eat, and I had this vivid thought of my soon-to-be brother coming out into

the world.

To me, that's a very happy memory, and also probably my earliest.

But obviously with good comes bad, and unfortunately we have the ability to recall unhappy

moments as well.

We can reflect.

And even though sometimes it can be painful, it is always powerful.

Because we are born with this any ability, it gives us another superpower, and that is

the power to transform.

Have you ever looked back at a younger version of yourself and just cringed?

You're like, why the hell did I wear that?

And why did I have an in-sync poster on my ceiling above my bed?
