Changes

All thanks to my very good buddy Tousue, he suggested a wonderful blogging topic about comparing me now to what seemed like years and years ago. Brilliant, right? This will be fun because I have tons of photos I'm going to share with you all. They could probably be blackmail photos but hell, it'll be enjoyable. Not much blogging today but rather photo sharing. =)

I'm not sharing a lot of kiddy photos but I felt like I just HAD to share this one with you. It's definitely one of my favorite photos of me as a kid. I was more chunky than a whale addicted to cheese but I was freaken CUTE. Yep, I love my self-serviced bangs, beady eyes, and my puffy shoulder sailor dress that was three inches too short and a few sizes too small.

I know right? Who ate that cute, little girl? Well let me tell you, reality did. Here's me I'd like to say five years ago. The super straight-edge, into music, tomboyish teenager who didn't really give two cents worth of the real world.

Here's one four years ago; not much change from 2005. Starting to look less tomboyish..still a good kid.

Everyone goes through a rebellious stage, this was mine. I didn't take it quite to the extreme level yet, but I was a curious cat. I played around a lot fake piercings and scene haircutting and whatnot. See for yourself.

Here, I even dated this one. Gah, that seemed so long ago. A senior in high school now, my most rebellious stage in my teen years. At the point in my life when I was trying to figure out who I was; something went wrong, I won't say much (chuckles), but I can't deny the fact that it made me who I am today. Hardy, har, har..

After going through a great depression in the middle of my senior year, just like that, I found myself (I swear I captured that sadness in my eyes in this photo). I changed completely inside and out: mind, personality, look-wise, attitude, perspective, everything, you name it. I changed as a person for the better. Oh, and I finally got that piercing I've always wanted. I have to say this was the toughest time thus far in my life; struggling with my parents, siblings, myself, and finding motivation to wake up every morning for school. Glad to say all is well now.

I can honestly say that through my whole entire high school years I never went through a "party everyday" stage. Lol, I hit that later than everyone else I guess. It's not even party everyday, but after being exposed to the "club" scene I sorta indugled in it. My sister's and sister-in-law's and I at a club. My hair was awesome that night (no bangs!). I really like that faux-hawk look. You can't really tell in that photo though, I know.

And then there's me now with a kid. LOL! No, I'm joking..that's the coolest kid on the block, (my niece) Autumn May Her. Yep, that's the most recent photo of me up to date (pure happiness and satisfaction). Quite a dramatic change from just five years ago, huh? Only now can I say..what a ride and what a ride it will still be. I would go into more details about the emotional changes, but I'll save that for a later blog. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. =) Good night!
