Emblem

These pictures all depict older people looking at their younger selves in the mirror. I think this is a perfect emblem for my blog posts because I feel like I have been stuck in the past. I fear growing up and life changing, which is probably why all four of my blog posts include fond childhood moments. I even picked Peter Pan as my challenge essay, which makes sense now that I think about it...I don't want to grow up. I honestly still feel like a kid and it dumbfounds me why kids my age are getting pregnant or engaged. I wish living like a child for my whole life was socially acceptable, but I know better, so I need to move on. However, a quote that I will leave with best sums up this moment in my life right now: "Falling leaves always fall back to its roots." -Adenine Yen Mah, author of Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter
