28 Years Ago

Me, Born

This is the first-ever photograph of me, taken the day I was born. Every time I look at this picture something happens inside me that I can’t entirely explain - it’s like I’m seeing myself there, as an infant, in reality, and I want to tell him that things will be incredibly hard, but also incredibly good, and that he’ll learn that he has far, far less to fear than he thinks. It’s a lesson I’m still learning.

    Happy Birthday! If only we could go back and tell our infant selves what we know now….but ignorance is bliss…to know what we know now, would be to know too much of the journey, and where’s the fun in that!?! Hope it’s been a great one!
