Sometimes, you can be too close to something or someone and not see what is reality until you see it in a picture. Online. With comments from others around you.

Pictures tell a thousand words…some of them are “wow, how did you get to be so mature and so quickly?”

I will leave the high school mates (and the reunion) out of this. I will leave my relatives (lets just call them elders) alone, too.

Let’s just focus on the 12 year olds. The ones who are just too close to being 18 and leaving us, like the other ones. Take your pictures now and cherish them, they won’t ever be this age again. Maybe, just maybe, you can be in the pic with them.
