I don't post as much as I used to but today is special.
This morning Facebook notified me of my memories and normally I do a quick check just to see how cringey high school or early college Me was but but today I had to pause and really take a second to reflect.
The 1st 3 pictures were taken 11 years ago, when I was 18. At that point of my life I really didn't have a lot of direction or or real goals, but I thought I was happy with where I was at. In retrospect I realize that I was actually very sad. I remember arranging that little photoshoot on that deserted road thinking that if I pretend to be happy enough that I will be.
Fast forward to this afternoon. I got an email from our photographer saying that our edited photos from our belated engagement shoot were ready to be viewed. As I looked through all of the pictures I kept thinking back to that 1st photo shoot and just telling myself how much I have grown since then.
I'm incredibly happy and blessed with where I am at in life and have actual tangible goals that I'm working towards. I want to go back and hug 18 year old me and tell her things might suck now, but everything will be okay in the end.
