Before and After: It's A Bigger Picture

Grab a picture of yourself from a couple years ago, it could be with family, friends, etc. Look at yourself closely, Are you still the same person now that you were back then? Do you still have the same friends, same hobbies, same likes/dislikes. Now look at your room, at your walls, even in your mirror. What do you see? Is it the same person in the picture because if so, your a damn liar. Look back at the picture, do you now realize that life is full of obstacles and that you change everyday. Perhaps now your more caring, more emotional, maybe now you get that joke that your P.E. teacher made in school. I look at a picture of myself, starting my senior year in high school and do you know what I see? I see a kid that couldn't wait to graduate, a kid that was looking forward to a year full of fun and laughter. A kid that didn't have the slightest clue that on the February of the upcoming year, his whole life would turn to shit. So if someone were to ask me, "Are you still the same person?" I would have to say no, because the person in the picture was a happy kid with a great smile and now, He's hiding behind it, to cover up his true emotions...
