These photos were taken right after my high school baceaulareate-same dress, same makeup. I know, it’s only a bit late. (please catch my sarcasm.) I couldn’t help it though, those last days were a blur of goodbyes, emotions, and tying up loose ends before my long summer trip to Asia. Back in these pictures, I was still with my old boyfriend and we were pretty inseparable. Pictures bring back a lot of memories, but these pictures are more sweet to me in retrospect than bitter- maybe it’s the golden haze on the wheat from the sunshine. Maybe it’s the internal calm that I sense in my expressions in these pictures…I’m watching and accepting the end of a chapter and the end is exciting in a way. I’m usually not one for goodbyes.
But as time passes, everything blurs together, maybe for the better. The happiness and the sadness average each other out, and I am left with armfuls of distinct moments. I think of them as carefully picked jewels in a treasure box. This is my past. This is what makes me myself, as I am today.
Happy weekend everyone! Thanks for sticking with xx
