Bringing it back!

So I have noticed that the cool new thing is to post old (and yes of course for some people old is 3-5 yrs and others well...its more than that) pictures from high school or back-in-the day. But, for reasons I'm not sure why people are bringing back the past and posting it on Facebook like new. I guess they think they were hotter, skinny-er, or who knows back then when actually "the past is the past for a reason"! Now don't get me wrong there is a big difference between "the past" and "throw-backs."

The Past = DRAMA
Throwbacks = Stomach-grabbing, tear-dropping LAUGHTER

I most definitely agree the past is HUGE part in why we are all what and who we are today, but we can't go back and live there so let it RIP people! It's way more trouble to bring up the past and dwell over it than it is to remember the past and be thankful for what it has given the future. OK... I AM SCARING MYSELF NOW BY NEEDING TO LIVE BY MY OWN ADVICE! Funny how you go to put words on paper (well the "new" paper) and they teach the person who wrote them something-CRAZINESS! One of my favorite quotes that has helped me (or tried you all know I'm VERY hard-headed) through times of trial when the past is involved is: "Make peace with the past so that it will not interfere with the present." Now this quote is GREAT when the past tries to haunt you but of course there are always exceptions to the rule and the past needs a firm beat down!

Ok back to the throwbacks on FB. Watch out ladies, I'm thinking of spending about 3-4 hours and scanning in EVERY single Senior Beach week picture and tagging all of your scandalous selves in them! When that happens I'll make sure to let you all know. There are many more reasons why you DO NOT do that to out way the laughs we would actually get from that. I might get the wild hair to throw in some "throwbacks" but I promise no blackmail pictures!

Please feel free to share any throwbacks of me that you have already spent the countless hours scanning into the computer but remember let "the past" RIP!
