Throwbacks in my life

In the past, this was a subject I had a preference to avoid. The past was a very painful time for me given the way I had previously been treated by my peers. I have since grown from all the pain that I had to endure and have come out stronger for it.

There were however, some really good times and one of them cropped up and was brought to my attention late last night. This is a photo that was taken 12 years ago, along with a portfolio which got made as I was getting into my freelance modelling and acting:

Given the condition that I was in at the time this was taken, I have to admit that it came out really well. Now, the reason for today's topic is because today is known as #throwbackthursday, a day in which we look back on the good times in our lives. This was one of them for me. I had such a good time having these photos taken. I have attached the link to the picture so you can go and see more. There have been many good times in my life and I wish I had documented them more.

We all have those times in our lives that w like to look back on and when the good times do come up, rest assured that I will definitely be sharing them all with you. Around this time was also when I started getting into my whole thing with fitness and over the years, I have learned to manipulate my body in order to become stronger much faster than in previous years. I have definitely figured out that I am way stronger physically than even I thought I was and it shows, this is from this morning just before I went out for my morning walk/run?

Back in the day, I used to just hide all the good times because they hurt that alot of them were celebrated without much real fanfare and I am the type of person that likes to share what is going on in my life and at the time it almost felt like no one really cared but they did and I was the one who thought that they would not want to know because of all the fuss they made. It would have been nicer had I also had the confidence in myself like I do now.

Nowadays, it is a completely different story due to the inner strength that I have found which makes it so much easier to show what has been going on in my life and to show it to those that mean the most to me. I really do enjoy thinking back these days and reminiscing about the good ole days. I had alot of fun back then and as they crop up you will see everything and I will tell you exactly why this means so much to me.

I have even now found that confidence to wear the clothes that I could have pulled off wearing back then and show off how great my body looks and how it makes me feel. Just like today's look:
