...More like, my past self. Like when I look at pics of myself when I was in high school, I remember how much I hated the way I looked back then. But then I'm like, I looked good back then! Wtf was I thinking? Then i start wishing I could look how I did when I was 15, 16 (I'm 22 now). I know that many years havent passed but I've gained and lost some weight and other things have changed about me and I just wish I could go back to the way I used to be. Is it normal to be envious of the way you used to look???

Is It Normal?

    I wish I looked like I did when I was 22. Wait til you're in your 40's, it won't be so much about gaining or losing a few pounds but about wrinkles and sagging skin. I have fine lines around my eyes that I absolutely hate. At least they're tiny but still I long for the days when they weren't there.

    to be jealous of myself is a weird way of saying 'nostalgia.'
