I just realized this is my 1,000th post on Instagram. So I’m throwing it wayyyy back and asking: what did you want to be when you were this young? Me: archaeologist. You: comment below! •• I came across these old photos a few weeks ago, and all I could think about is how while growing up, I would never have expected my life to go this direction - careerwise, locationwise, everythingwise - but I am ever so happy and grateful it has. •• Also, a happy early birthday to the incredible woman in this photo, my beautiful mother. . . . . .
