Greiving someone i couldve been.

Sometimes, I catch myself looking back at old photos and videos of me as a child. I look so happy, so full of life. I can’t even remember what it felt like to be that little girl, to see the world through her eyes or to be so effortlessly herself. She feels like a stranger to me now, someone I once knew but can no longer recognize. Sometimes, I wonder if that was who I was always meant to be, before life got to me first.
