U2BDC: Used To Be's Do Count

By: Dean James
  • Summary

  • ‘Used to Be’s’ do indeed count! “I used to be…” refers to a past human state, condition identity or experience. Understanding the importance of what or who someone ‘used to be’ can provide valuable insight into one’s life journey and experiences.

    We’re not dwelling on the past in a negative, stagnant way. We are giving it it’s proper time, power and reflection, so we can understand the impact it has had on who we are today!
