So, I'm pretty sure we're all aware of how facebook works. A lovely little tool to keep up with friends and shit, and to post pictures and be endlessly vain searching for that PERFECT profile picture. (Sidenote: the downfall of digital cameras is our vanity is thrust in our faces...We race to the camera to see how WEEE look...haha, i've done this. i do this. i will do this forever. Because we're an egotistical species...and that ain't gonna change, baby)
But, on facebook right now, I was looking at my pictures that have been posted by friends over the year that I"ve had an account. And I started at the most recent, and as I followed the progression of image after image, it eventually went to the least recent. And I had to laugh, because its like, "Hannah, you thought you looked SMOKIN fuckin HOTTTT that day!" And yet, a year later, I cringe and think about how fat I looked or how bad my hair was or how my outfit was. Will, in a year, I cringe at what I'm wearing now??? Will Future Hannah shun Past Hannah? Haha, as Present Hannah sits in her huge sweater that Future Hannah might hate...
Bottom Line: Will we EVER be content with how we look? I only go on and on about looks because (*hopefully*) our personalities will stay the same awesomeness that they are now. I don't want to spend $23988023984329804 dollars on wedding pictures, only to later look back on them and say ," Sheeeeeeiiiit, what were you thinkin' guuuurrrrrl?" So I don't really know.
I guess I can just love me in the moment. Right now my hair is dark brown, I'm not as slender as I'm used to, and like I said, I'm wearing a ridiculously huge sweater. But tomorrow it'll be different.....Change. How delish :)
