I Used to be this Tiny...


I did a baby shoot and it hit me...I use to be one of these...weak, vulnerable, helpless, and in need of my father and mother's care.  So much goes into raising children from their infancy to adulthood.  It's so surreal to think that I've lived over a quarter of my life as an adult where I've learned (and still continue to do so) the happy medium of interdependency - not being pridefully independent or overtly dependent.  I wouldn't be true to myself if said, "I don't need anyone," or "I can't function without this person in my life."  Choosing a mindset of "We" rather than "Me" is so counter-cultural.   I'm so thankful for my family and friends :D
