"here & now" v. "then & when"
So, when your past meets your future how do you to react?
When the person of the "here & now" starts to see the people from the "then & when" do you ever feel strange? Confronted with photos of yourself; a person that is now only a sketch of who you are.
I was fat in high school and college. I felt U-G-L-Y! Thanks to Fb, I get to see the "then & when" me, and frankly, I was as fat as I imagined. The "here & now" me knows that I watch my weight because of those "fatty" days. Does the fact that I look "better" than I did "then & when" explain why I am so at ease with photos of myself be them from "here & now" or "then & when" or am I just an accidental narcissist?
