Personal // Careless

My mom recently found these pictures of me and I thought it would be fun to share them with you. I'd give anything to go back to the days where I'd only worry about the scratches on my knees or which game I'd play next. I'm absolutely petrified about growing older and having to deal with everything that comes along with that. Am I the only one with that issue? They say that every age has its charm, but I'm still trying to find peace with the fact that I'm going to graduate soon (hopefully) and that I'll be thrown into the adult world. 

Anyways, the picture above was taken at my grandparents' place. They had a big field next to their house and my cousins and I used to play there almost every single day. Even when it was snowing. I have so many great memories there and I'm so bummed about the fact that the field isn't there anymore. They've built a couple of houses on it during the years.

Liking my Moschino suit? Not something I'd dress my kid with, but my mom swears those were the trends back then. :D

On a holiday in Italy. I still have family living there and we used to visit them every summer. I haven't been able to visit them for the past couple of years, but I'm hoping I'll be able to go back there again very soon. My mom keeps telling me how much she loved this haircut and how I should cut it like this again. Oh, hell no!

Disneyland Paris! Aaah, I'll never get tired of going there. I've been there about 9 times now and I'm still planning to go back. Even at 22 years old, I still act like a 5-year-old when I'm there. The place makes you forget the track of time and it literally feels like you're in another world.

Already rocking the dip and dye trend at 12 years old. ;) The guy in the picture is a Belgian singer and television host and I used to have a crush on him (hence the toothpaste smile). Now, I'd probably tell him that he had to ditch the jacket before taking this picture. 

What are your favorite childhood memories?

  2. Zalige foto met Gene! ;)
    Ik zou gewoon heel graag terug de vakanties van vroeger hebben, waarin ik elke ochtend om 8u al met de buurjongens in het veld zat om legertje te spelen. (en dan 's avonds in bad gestopt worden en nog Samson en Gert kijken in je pyama)

  3. Soms wil ik ook nog wel eens terug in de tijd, maar al bij al ben ik tevreden met hoe het nu is :)
    En dat roze haar is zo cool, haha! Op die leeftijd al, over trend predicting gesproken ;)

  5. Awww you were such a cute kid! Thanks for sharing these photos :)


    And I assure you, everyone has the freakout at how old they are. I did it last birthday and I'll do it again! haha. Things were much easier when we were younger.

  6. oooh, zo leuk. Ik heb ook een bepaalde foto in de tuin met mijn opa die ik blijf koesteren.
    De tas valt wel mee qua gewicht hoor, ik dacht het eerst ook, maar ze is eigenlijk heel comfortabel om te dragen.
    xo,

  9. A) You are SOOOO cute :D
    B) I'm going through the same thing as you. Completely terrified of graduation and completely becoming an adult in the real world. It sounded so cool when I was younger to be older and independent and do whatever I want... sadly though life doesn't work that way, and the older you get the more problems and responsibilities. I've realized though that it's something that everyone is going to go through, and the best thing you can do is try to be prepared and hope for the best. Nothing is going to go according to plan, so part of being prepared, I think, is taking that into consideration. If something doesn't work out, it literally is not the end of the world, although it often seems like it.

    Great post :) Glad to know that I'm not the only one with these exact thoughts!

    Ik ken het gevoel! En er zijn verschrikkelijk veel mensen rondom mij die precies niet kunnen wachten om ouder te worden. Ik wil Peter Pan zijn :p

  11. Omg ik had zo ook een crush op Gene! Loved him! And I really share your fear of growing up. Or maybe us girls/bloggers think too much ;-)

  12. Soms wil ik gewoon terug naar die zorgeloze kindertijd, spelen op de "boerenbuiten" bij mijn grootouders, toen er van facebook , iphone en al de rest nog geen sprake was....*zucht* :)

    groetjes

    Een 27 jarige :d
