When you were:

5: I was verrrry outgoing. I was chubby. I had two best friends that hated each other. My mom had just married daddy #2 and I wanted a brother/sister

10: I was a wreck. My mom went through a divorce and not long after was pregnant by daddy #3. I missed a lot of school and went to couseling during lunch on tuesdays with other kids going through "home problems" and went to a counselor after school two days a week. I was finally going to get that sibling though! A brother.

15: Very involved with my church youth group, I had a TON of friends. I had one serious boyfriend but was a goody-goody. I loved school. I was in the marching band and was very confident. I lost a lot of weight that summer and felt great about myself

16: (Im going with 16 since Im not 25 yet) Went through an ucky break up with said bf. I thought we'd be together forever. Was depressed for a looooong time. Had a weird "fling"(if you can call it that at 16) with this punk rock bass player in the orchestra. We didnt have anything in common but we would make out/fool around at the playground near my house LOLz. Then I met H and got my liscence. My whole life changed. He was nothing I thought I ever wanted and he was quiet. I was not. I went along with the steady b/f thing and then set my sights on a wedding...

20: Been married a year, and still not sure what that meant. Living in someone elses house, driving someone elses car, I definitely lost myself. No career in sight just working day by day, and all my friends were living the college, single, drinking life. Very depressed.

Now: Now I am slowly getting back to who I was 6 yrs ago. I have an education, I have a career, I just financed my own car, and I picked out my own home. On the horizon I can see more education (2 more yrs for hygiene) and lots of travel. Im lucky to have a companion, and I never regret getting married so young. I wish I hadnt let myself forget who I was though. We will probably wait another 4 yrs or so before babies. Id like to get through school and have a few *fun* years before locking it down.

When you were:

5: Curious and playful

10: Living on top of the world as a 5th grader in elementary school.

15: Insecure, wishing I could date and hating my acne lol. I was big into acting and music, though.

20: Halfway through undergraduate school and dealing with business classes and snooty business classmates.

25: Finally ready to take on the world after graduating from graduate school. Finally feel like I have a purpose in life, and I am very happy with the gifts I have.

What were you like when you were:

5: I'm not sure, but I was probably awesome. I played outside a lot - jump rope, skip it and things.

10: Again, probably awesome, but I'm vague on the specifics. I think I got my ears pierced and I was very into NKOTB and stuff. I started dancing and my dance teacher didn't like me. This was a theme throughout my life b/c I pretty much sucked, but liked going. I think my dance team coach always wondered how on earth I made the team.

15: Definitely awesome. I was a sophomore in high school and this was one of the best years of my life. Started drinking and hanging out - going to parties and what not. I think I made out with every boy I saw. Man, did I love drunken making out. I relied on my friends big time and started getting into arguments with my parents. Nothing major, but I definitely had the "I am teen, I am better than you attitude".

20: Awesome, but I didn't know it from about 17-20. I made out so much in high school that I never really had a boyfriend. I was also unfortunate enough to be in a group of friends that was gorgeous (seriously everyone I hung out with in high school was gorgeous, it sucked sometimes), so by default I was always the "last one picked". I was basically over the top hook up girl at this stage just to make myself feel cool I think and couldn't for the life of me figure out why none of my drunken hook ups turned into relationships. Finally started figuring it all out right at age 21. Had my first relationship, first breakup. Also had my first major loss in this age range when my grandma passed away. This pretty much shook me up for life and I still don't do well with thoughts of death of those I love. Occasionally I'll randomly think someone is going to call me and say someone (mom, dad, H) got in a wreck or something and I relate it back to this. Doesn't send me into panic attacks or anything, but I can definitely get stuck on a morbid thought. I cry when people die in movies/books all the time and it only got worse with my grandpa's passing last year.

25: Awesome. That sums it up. I decided to quit teaching and move out of state to somewhere I'd never lived and knew no one. I went to eat by myself, went to the beach by my self, went to the bar (okay, like 4 times) by myself. I also met H when I was 24 and with him deploying and being away a lot I learned to take care of myself. I also learned the difference between "a relationship" and having a true partnership with someone. I really started feeling adult like in this stage.

Now: Well, I'm still awesome. I'm much more "sure" of myself than I was in my younger years. Still nice, but no longer a doormat. I also don't rely on my friends as much. Probably because none of them live near me. I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut and need an artistic outlet, but I have no idea what I'm good at and it's expensive to try things out here and there.
