I don’t post a lot of pictures of myself. Mostly because I spent the majority of my more self-aware years being self conscious of either my looks or my weight. Usually both. These days, I’m not so worried about my looks – I know I’ve fixed myself up a lot – and my weight is at a much healthier place than it used to be. I don’t claim to be vain in any aspect. And in some ways, I think it’s better that way. I’m not spending useless time worrying about myself or thinking I am something more than I am. So without further ado, I thought I’d post a pic from about three to four year ago and then one from this past Labor Day.

(I blanked out Ash’s face because it’s a bad pic. The 2nd one is dark but looks decent)

I think we all reinvent ourselves every now and then and I don’t regret who I was then. I just know that that person is now in the past and I learned what I could from her.
