Look at how pretty I used to be. I say this without vanity, more with a bit of wistful sadness because I didn’t even know I was pretty back then. And this was just 20 years ago, aged 43… pics of me at age 20-25 or so make me even sadder.  Because it kind of feels like an “opportunity lost” that I spent so much of my life hating on how I looked, never feeling I was pretty enough, always feeling FAT. But you see, I looked just fine! And man, I would kill to have that jawline back again 😉
