Nostalgia and Scans

Classic Pics, Back in the day when I was younger, Baby Pictures... all album names on social networking sites, and a reminder of long lost memories of you in the awkward stages of life. Well not all awkward, its a glimpse to the past like you would never expected before, except in those torturous tradition of class reunions. Now there is the serendipitous virtual high school, college and (not forgetting to include) elementary school reunions, are through these pictures; the profile information allows that taking stock on life aspect of the reunion, from the countless years since graduation. Its funny because I remember so many things from the past those etched as hard as stone in my memory and nothing can change them. Then Bam! there goes your junior high chum tagging the image of my cheesy smile and goofy pose for all to see. Its all about how your friends remembered that they snapped the picture in that moment in time many moons ago, scanned them and now your new FB friends can see who you were. Fun times!

One thing I do remember is that I had a some common teenage insecurities.like that country song goes (yeah country) 'letter to me' that I so wish I could go back to talk to me when I was 15 and tell the teen-me to "go for it!" go ahead and tell that handsome Nate that you were digging him, to put a little lip gloss on once in while, let that long hair loose. *Y eso, my parents had no restrictions on anything that didn't deal with death and illegal activity.Yet, they had no worries about me. I am cool with how all turn of events came about from the most embarrassing to the most happiest. Yet it would have been nice to have the confidence to take specific in your face opportunities.

That's what I want to share with the young people in my life. Those that I admire, who are filled with ideas, that certain chutzpah I know they will hopefully hear me out when I tell them to follow their dream and only settle for the best for them!

So I do enjoy this way of life now. Where it comes in cycles, those good people you love and remember you fondly. Those who want to share with the digital world the great times they remember, and hope to continue to feel it when they scan these wonderful images filled with sweet nostalgia.
