Gabby was a girl trying to figure it out, as she was just 18 years old. She decided to take a year off of school, to be a nanny in France. Time was cutting it close and Gabby often questioned herself, what will I do next. She thought that this time she would figure it out finally, as she disguised the trip to France as a year to find herself when in reality it was just a trip to try new cafes, and hit up French botiques. She loved her Aupair household but she didn’t know what she even learned besides caring for a kid. Gabby approaches the side walk as she lights up a cigarette and thinks to herself, a year all wasted, now I have nothing to go back and say what I have experienced. Sheltered at most she didn’t get a good opportunity to see what life was like with full independency. So out of touch with reality, “Tout va bien?” a women says to her while she’s on the stairway. Gabby replied, “tout,” the women looked at her and knew right away due to her young presence and looking so lost in France. “Vouloir c’est pouvoir, my mother use to alway’s tell me, things may seem rough right now but life is truly short to be worrying and disappointed when it heads nowhere, best for you to do is do what you love and keep doing it if you hit rock bottom, your dreams are a way to escape and let it your passions out” than the women walked away. Gabby thought to herself, “That was so random, but maybe the women was right, maybe it’s time to get out of France and pursue her dreams in fashion designing. That’s exactly what she done, now she’s 26 and lives in New York, and a successful fashion designer with 3 wonderful cats. That advise woke her up and made her see that life is too short to be dreading about her misfortunes when in that time wasted you could have been doing something beneficial for your future; Even if you fail and hit rock bottom, you got to keep perserving and keep a positive mindset to head in the right direction.
