We often look at old photographs of ourselves and others, to see what and who we used to be. We look at our childhood photos and say .. "Look how I have changed." But the truth is that the pictures we look at, are not us. They are the past. They are different. They are gone. Sometimes they are so vastly different that we don't recognize ourselves and don't want to.

So maybe I'll take a picture today, and look at it tomorrow and hope I'm gone, too. It's the closest I'll ever get to waving myself goodbye.
