Returning to the scene of the crime is worth three stars on the assignment scale. I was super excited for this one, I think it turned out nicely.

I couldn’t decide between the two of these pictures. One is of just me, at 2 years old. The other is of my brother and I before school one year, don’t know how long ago.

Per @Cogdog ‘s request, I’m going to write a letter to myself in my younger years that goes along with these photographs.

Dear Younger Me,

Let me tell you a secret, nobody is perfect. That is the one thing that you need to remember. Never lose sight of your innocence. Mature with the rest of your age group, but never forget where you came from and how to have fun. Remember to brush your hair, it gets real tangly and kids are bound to make fun of you. Trust me. You keep that model pose going as well girl, one day you’ll be fabulous. I can vouch for that one. Last, but surely not least, remember that you are beautiful. Kids are going to call you names and make fun of you, they’re going to not like you. It’s a fact of growing up, one I wish we could obliterate. Just don’t feel bad about yourself or let other people’s opinions of you get you down. You’re amazing.

Future You.
