It must be because I like to torture myself… but here we are with such a loaded prompt that I’m sure the internet would collapse under such a weight. My past.
If I began at the beginning, it would be 1984 and we would be in Huntingdon Valley, PA, about 30 minutes outside of Center City Philadelphia… and then if I went to the middle we could be on the wrong side of the door at an inpatient facility or accepting a bachelor’s degree obtained in just 3 years. And nearing the present would be this mom of two scratching her head at such an open-ended, all-inclusive blog prompt.
Instead of hashing through whatever past could should even publicly be shared… I figured I would spend the week searching for my favorite photos. I loved it so much, but was still left pondering- what does it all mean?! What is it about my past that I want to share. So I decided on a timeline, or a where I was, during my life- in photos.
…and that was cathartic!
Please don’t forget to think up your #52WeeksA4A week 9 post below!
I love how you do each post, and this one was definitely loaded you’re right!! How do you sum up a past in a post?! I love the work picture and photo timeline. Each week I feel like I know you a little better :).

This is awesome! I’d love to do something like this, but lost all of my family photos a few years ago in a house fire. Love this!

Collages aren’t just for elementary school art class anymore. Displaying a collection of different pictures rather than just a single image is a great way to capture all of the feelings or special events surrounding an important time in your life. Collages are now a perfectly acceptable and even creative way to show off your pictures.

There are so many sections of my life that there is no photographic proof of. I wish I had been better about that.
Much to my mother’s dismay, I used to go through like 3 disposable cameras a week!
