Saw a woman wearing one of those trendy flower hair clips today, and it left me reminiscing about who I used to be.
Always dressed up, always in touch with the latest styles—hair clips, accessories, outfits, everything. It was rare to catch me dressed down. But it wasn’t just that—I was vibrant, full of life.
The exactly one year ago me would be dumbstruck to see the today me. I may not dress like I used to, nor do I carry the same lightness. Yet, as I look at myself in the mirror now, I realize that that me isn’t lost. I’ve just grown into someone different, someone new. Life unfolded in ways I never imagined, shaping me in ways I never asked for. After all, life has its own way of reshaping us.
Maybe someday, I’ll find my way back to that version of myself—the one who radiated warmth. Or maybe, just maybe, I’ll discover a new version of me, one that shines just as brightly, in a different way.
