Rediscovering My Childhood Self

If little me could see me now ✨ I watched my childhood best friend get married this weekend, back in my hometown, and spent a lot of time reflecting on how many phases of life we’ve seen each other go through. I also looked through some old stacks of family photos and had a few realizations about younger me and the dreams she had and who she hoped to be. I’ve always been a little goofy, had a love for a little bit of glitter, a passion for being a little dirty outside, and wanting to be creative through it all. Somewhere along the way I got lost in someone else’s thought that all of those things couldn’t exist together. Somewhere further down the line I decided that they could. This weekend was the first time I realized I am so much more like younger me than I thought I was and found another layer of appreciation for self growth and accepting who I am. What do you think 8 year old you would think of you now?
