As a writer I know that words carry a certain weight. Words have the power to hurt or to heal. In my books I string together certain words in a certain way to illicit certain emotions from my readers. I have to craft a mental image to get my point across.
Pictures are a different matter altogether. Without much effort, pictures evoke memories and emotions more than words can. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. They're also worth a thousand memories.
As you scroll down through these pictures, take a moment to reflect on where you were then and how far you've come. Consider also how much the world has changed since then. Think back to these times when life seemed easier, simple, and more innocent. Would you go back if you could?
