This is called a polaroid, kids.

Mary. 16 years old. Varsity tennis player. Wanna be skater. Chilling in my best friend’s front yard post volunteer hospice work for the day. Less than a year away from dropping out of HS because it didn’t feel right anymore.

15 years later, I am exactly the kind of woman I wanted to be when I grew up. Also, clearly, Egyptians age backwards. Magic, duh.

Jokes aside, looking at this photo, and I mean really looking at this photo, having a flood of memories, good, bad, and meaningful hit me, I am so grateful for life. I hope 15 years from now, I can look at a photo of my 31 year old self and have similar sentiments with a greater ability to give back and perhaps, still not have aged *too* much. ? #eatplaycrush #sentimentalsunday
