So, I found my duplicates of my passport photo, taken back when I was sorta skinny (a size 8) and wore my hair straighten. I think I was 27 or 28(maybe 26) at the time.
Today, I feel like I look so different now - almost unrecognizable.

This is my attempt at recreating the 20-year oldish self picture, which I posted above - even down to the earrings (I was trying for straight-face look and FAILED).
You know, they always say that youth is wasted on the young. I think there is some truth to that.
I remember being so sad, & insecure about everything back then. I was so concerned with what other folks thought of me (mainly the men I had been chasing around) and was equally scared to take chances on myself, fearing that I was bound to fail.
If only I knew then how beautiful and talented of a person I was? Imagine all of the great things I could have done?
Now, a few years older (I'm 33 and a 1/2), I do feel much more confident in myself. Everyday I find news ways to challenge myself and every other day, I find news ways to exceed those challenges. And while I am definitely more happier and secure than I was in my 20s, admittedly I am little heavier than before...
I just wonder how I will feel about my 30-year oldish self, when I reach 40?
