Looking at pictures has never been so painful… one of the pleasures of coming back home is to see all the family souvenirs. All those trips taken, those celebrations, the gifts… it’s hard not to get emotional for one minute, but hey, now is time to create new ones. But please future Jordan, turn off the flash

Honestly, my nostalgia isn’t that innocent. As I faced my past in our memory box, I came face to face with my present face in the mirror and almost cried (drama kween). See, looking at old pictures makes you realize how much you’ve changed. Not morally (who cares, we all played pokemon) but physically. The time of shiny hair, glowing skin and carefreeness seems far far away, almost in the never-never land. As if this weren’t enough sad, I found some pictures of me in my teenage years (youhouuu). Hello braces and spots! Anyone could have recognized me from an helicopter, but I seem happy in those pictures so no harm done! Am I the only one thinking that I only had the chance to experience beauty until the age of 11? Afterwards, it just seems like a slow and steady long fall… In life, they say ugly people are always funny because that’s the only thing they can hold on to (hello cliché). Since my physical change made a change in my character (obviously), had I really become a nicer person or just uglier (please don’t answer that)? And what about those people who’ve always been beautiful (I’m talking no braces, acne-free, fit and great hair), are they really boring bitches?

In the end, feel thankful for those braces, spots and weird haircuts. Just like some events can change the curse of your life and your personal beliefs, those unusual yet common accessories may have spared you from being a total douche. Or maybe not…
