I stumbled upon some old pictures of my mom, back when my family used to host a whole bunch of parties at our house. She looked so radiant, smiling in every picture, so young and just beautiful. Which is not to say she isn't still all of those things, but sometimes it feels like she's lost that spark and that just makes me really sad.

recently I found some old family photos that I hadn’t looked at in a few years. of my parents, and their parents and even one of my great grandfather (who had amazing cheekbones….) and a lot of photos of young me. there was one of my grandmother standing in front of her school with classmates and just looking Exactly like herself only younger and even cheekier and maybe quieter than she is today and I loved seeing how she dressed herself then knowing she is a Recovering Shopaholic now and basically I feel close to her when I remember and tell a story of her. (She is the diva standing 5th from left)

I remember coming across my grandmothers wedding photos once when I was a wee kid. And it’s never stopped intriguing me. It’s like they lived separate lives. I’ve only known them since I was born and it makes me curious to know who they were as individuals before me.
I stay in the storeroom of my house now, so once every few months I look through all the albums stored here… photos of my parents when they were my age, when they started dating, schooling and having fun.
It’s such a bittersweet feeling.

maybe this doesnt work for everyone BUT my confidence in my physical appearance got so much better when i went through old family photos or did research into where my family comes from. i started to see pieces of myself in those pictures. there’s the bump on my nose! there are my curls! my arm hair! my shoulders! my tummy! my height!
and who am i to not be proud to carry pieces of them wherever i go?
my mom’s mother died when she was very young. her dad always would tell her that she looked like her mother and had her mother’s nose. my mom would get bullied for her big nose, but never once wanted to change it. that is her mother’s nose as much as it is her own. be proud of things like that! you are more than your image, you are the lives and stories within you.

Yea yea I know that's the most corny, most BORING answer but it's the truth. Today, my friends and I drove 30-45 mins just to go to wingstop. Why? Because we had never tried it before. It was a long endeavor, but now I will always have those memories with me. Don't be afraid to try things, especially the stupid little things; I find that those are the ones worth living for.

Once I give you a contact picture on my phone, that shit is never getting taken down. I don’t care if we never speak again, I don’t care if you did me super dirty or vice versa. Once it’s done that’s it.

I'm personally a very sentimental person, so, every so often I take a good look at my jewelry. You see, I am composed of everything that people have gifted me. From necklaces I have gifted myself, to rings my parents have bought me, to bracelets my ex has made me. Nonetheless, I like to remember each and every memory attached to these pieces of jewelry, they remind me of who I once was, how much I have grown. Here's to new beginnings, old endings-- and everything in between.
