Yuo have a way with words, a manner of expressing your thoughts that pulls me into your head, and makes me remember things about myself as I feel a strong sense of familiarity when reading your posts, @zipporah. Maybe we all have that secret wish to remember what it was like before we became aware of our place and responsibilities in the world; I know how true your closing sentence is. When seeing pictures of myself as a young child and trying very hard to remember what it was like for that young version of myself, sometimes I get that fleeting feeling of recognition, fragments of sounds, smells and even emotions come back for the briefest of moments, but never will they be captured forgood, gone before you know it.

These are all adorable pictures and the way you describe your efforts to keep track of, and look back upon your personal growth, suit them perfectly. Thanks for sharing these posts, dear friend; I can almost hear us giggle together 💖 😍
