Oh yay, I get to talk about myself!
Kidding! (Kind of)
This photo:
Why: This is one of two photos I have had taken of me in the last 4 years where I look totally and truly happy with where I am today. It's not a professional photo, it's not staged, and the photographer snapped the picture quicker than I had time to think. BUT! I just look so content!
Sometimes I don't believe this photo is me. I have rarely mentioned this, but when I was a child growing up (and I didn't realize this until recently), I didn't laugh or smile. It was just something that didn't happen in my household. And I remember practicing smiling when I was in middle school because I didn't know how to smile naturally. Happiness was not a common emotion. Also I got hit in the face with a see-saw when I was three so I have nerve damage. Self-esteem went right down the tubes when people pointed it out.
So seeing myself in this state (happiness) is just a beautiful thing. It shows my true self and I love it!
