Did any of you ever search something in your computer and suddenly chance upon some truly old pictures? It happened to me today. Hundreds and hundreds of pictures were taken and never opened, sometimes, for years. I went through them and it worked like a time machine.

How much fun with old friends! Where are they now? What are they doing right now?  For some of them, I don't have any idea because I simply lost contact...

How many places I visited! I forgot how beautiful that city was! Look at that trip! That was a kind of adventure... I remember the reservation had been cancelled and the time I had to spend to find a new hotel! Fortunately I didn't sleep under a bridge. I travelled a lot and I haven't realised it until now!

Oh, what an important day this was for me! My graduation! What a face! I was really nervous before the oral presentation of my thesis, but everything went well!

I continued my travel in time and it was a weird sensation...it was as though, I was looking at another person. Cute like a puppy!

And I felt a sort of tenderness remembering my thoughts, all the fears, the insecurities, the laziness but also the will, the good intentions and my kindness. I was not so bad after all!

Thank you, pictures! I will stop complaining about what I am not and what I don't have...because one day I will look back at myself as I am now, with watery eyes and I will think how cute and happy I was!
