This, typically, is the kind of image that you see pop up in your friends’ “Back in the Day Albums”…the ones you want to beat them for posting! It’s the kind of image I want hidden underneath a pillow, underneath the sheets below the pillow, underneath the mattress, and below the bed…..Permanently. And instead, I’m doing the opposite…I’m posting it. My aunt decided to sent this over to my dad yesterday who was “kind” enough to send it my way with a large “Thought You Might Enjoy This” as the headline.

WHO ENJOYS SEEING THIS KIND OF IMAGE OF THEMSELVES?!!!

I’m not going to lie…it did make me laugh a little. And so I called my dad and asked him why he never told me that I was a caterpillar before I became a butterfly? It looks like I just slammed my face into a clear glass door. πŸ™‚ I guess I just forgot how long I’ve been loving chocolate so much. After all, chocolate is still one of the only things that can make me smile this big…lol

I’m not sure if I want to laugh out loud at this photo or run and hide…but either way, it’s me. In a nutshell. I get overly excited about things to the point that I can no longer care what I look like on the outside.

Now…SEEING what I ACTUALLY look like here is a little hard. Ok. A LOT hard. But at the end of the day, I’mΒ learning to shake my head and laugh at the parts of me that are annoying and imperfect. I do, at times, struggle with my own self doubt and confidence. But you know what, we are who we are…and I’m learning to love that person anyway. πŸ™‚

And seriously, who let me wear socks with that dress? πŸ˜‰ Have a great day!!

Catherine

    Haha! Girl… I don’t know a single person who does NOT have photos with funny faces in them from years back. At least yours is a funny EXPRESSION and not a funny looking FACE. πŸ˜‰ And yeah… I have socks on with dresses in the photos when I was a little girl. haha
