There's nothing quite like feeling like you've known a person longer than you have.
Rather than introducing myself through words, I thoguht I'd give you a glimpse of me over the years.
After all, pictures paint an image clearer than words could ever portray...
This is the youngest picture of me that I have on my laptop - I think I was about eight. I really miss my hair being that length!
I have a feeling that this was my twelfth birthday... I look pretty bad, it's got to be said.
When I moved up to high school, I turned a bit gothic!
Then I had all my hair cut off :(
And dyed it red :)
And this is me now... well, in February anyway. My hair is brown again, and nearly as long as it was before. And I look a little less scary (although it's still there, don't worry)!
Quickest journey through my life ever? Yes.
It's funny how we change... I look back and envy some of the pictures of me, wondering why I changed and mostly, wondering why I thought so little of myself.
I wish that when these were taken I had more confidence in myself. I often wonder how different my life would be now if I had just grasped opportunities with both hands instead of being shy. However, the past cannot be changed, but the future can be.
Take opportunities; you never know if you'll ever get them again.
Believe in yourself; you never know when you might need to.
You are beautiful, I promise.
