I see me in you. Literally

Post Reply New Topic

Life is a game. Things like social order are completely made up, figments of the imagination, adhered to as a way of making life easier. No more real than the reality in your head.
That's what I mean by 'third eye'; not in a spiritual sense, but the ability to conceptualise and visualise in our minds.

This is me when i was 5. I think I still have the same look a lot of the time.

So, in other words, we're not starting a "friendly feud!"

That's a lovely picture at the end of this thread there!

Oh scrulie! I have so many pictures of me around that age, with a very similar expression on my face!

I found a couple that were close at hand. Unfortunately they're polaroids, so the scan quality is poor. But hopefully you can still see what I'm seeing.

at five years old

Both of these pictures were taken at happy events that I enjoyed very much, but it strikes me that I'm obviously thinking about something else entirely. That's still the case today at any gathering.

I look the same way in childhood pictures.

I'd post some but they're all in storage at my parents' place, and I'd have to find them, and then find a scanner to get them into digital format. For one thing I haven't got the motivation to go to all that work, and for two I worry that I'd never get the pictures back to storage at my parents' place and all those precious pictures would be lost because I'm just that irresponsible. Heh.

So you'll just have to trust me that I had the same look as a child. My parents even have a framed picture of me in their dining room at about age two that looks like that. (There's one of my brother too, but he's looking at the camera and smiling happily.)

You do look nice!
