PROLOGUE
My sister and I discussed taking The Decade Challenge in a way that leaves the challenge in tact. Anyone can post throwback photos... pretty much any Tuesday or Thursday that they choose. But please not on days that do not alliterate.
From entries I've seen, it appears we are highlighting our ability to quickly edit photos and our fondness for animal filters.
If you appear as a cat in a photo from 2009, it must’ve been Halloween.
In 2019, that’s just SnapChat.
Where’s the challenge in that?
Let’s go deeper than flawless, filtered skin. Let’s dig in.
I've decided to visit the albums and archives from 2009 and share the story that both led and followed me here.
It is not in writing over the past that we learn, but in the honest reading. This life has brought me joy - sometimes through channels of pain. I celebrate the whole story and look forward to the chapters to come.
