Down Memory Lane

I’ve been sorting through a pile of pictures for our wedding avp. Seeing my childhood and teenage pictures brought me back down to memory lane. I can’t believe how different I looked back then. Baggy jeans, loose t-shirts, short puffy hair, sandals with socks, and flowered leggings with socks on top…oh my! And I thought I was cool before. Aside from having a laugh trip, it has made me realize that there were certainly a lot of beautiful and happy (some extra special) memories I’ve had throughout the years. There are some that I will never forget. I miss being an innocent kid where the world seemed just like a one big playground to me. I miss being a giddy teenager with numerous crushes on nerdy looking boys. I miss being in college where the world seemed like mine to take; with countless escapades and adventures to boot.

Ten years from now, I’ll probably look back and say the same thing again. I’ll probably laugh my socks off again when I see myself clad in today’s style (read: mini dresses and floral prints. Who knows what the style will be in the future?). Once in awhile, it’s nice to look back, trace back one’s path and see how much one has grown and changed (for the better I hope). It’s always a nice feeling to know that one has gone a long way and has achieved significantly.
