I was scrolling through social media looking for inspiration (read: procrastinating) and somehow ended up deep diving in my 2011 photo archives. Big mistake. I unearthed 15-year-old me in all her glory: we’re talking peak nerd energy, a set of shiny braces, and the most questionable glasses to ever grace a human face.
At any given moment that year, I was likely doing one of two things: on my 400th re-read of Harry Potter or questioning the entire education system because I’d been sorted into the “top class” — away from my friends and miserable about it. I was the typical, introverted shy nerd who only conversed normally if and only a new person started the conversation first. I was too nervous to say anything past hello and a smile.
I didn’t own a phone at that age, but I had a Blogger account which I sporadically updated whenever I was at the dentist at my mom’s workplace and had access to her work computer. No makeup either but I did love watching BookTube and the makeup video tutorials that were slowly growing at the time.
What does your 2011 look like in a photo?
