Throwback Thursday

So I went in my memories on another social media platform, to try to find good memories to share with you guys. Unfortunately, as my life has been as far as I can remember, it’s all about extremes. Either everything will gear into place simultaneously and almost perfectly or the jinga puzzle will crumble down in catastrophic proportions. Similarly, the picture I’m sharing today. It was taken over 40 years ago; I was almost ten and in elementary school. I am the kid in the front of the picture. It brings back terrible memories of bullying and humiliation.

Life was not kind in the 80s in Europe for a young witty/intelligent girl who acted and looked different. However, I had clearly stated that I would not hold back and share the good, the bad and the ugly. The positive take out of this story is that I’m no longer this frightened little girl. I am actually quite fond of myself, quirkiness and all. I’m strong and resilient and I am not the weakling who used to be constantly picked on. I wish I had a Time Machine to leap back and tell her that it is alright to be who she is. Maybe in a hundred years, human beings will be able to go back in time. So now it’s your turn. What memory will you choose to share with us today?
