Unearthed this in a family album. Sideways styled fedora and a threadbare cashmere scarf because ✨️fashion✨️ is for sheeple. And so is smiling. I was a very proud undiagnosed autist non-confomist

The gauchos, white tights, orange crocs, and a poncho was an interesting combination lol.

I have normal teeth now for the record

For context: I used to make dumb faces to try to make people laugh, it never had the effect I hoped for though unfortunately...

Ppl thought I was a moron

They might have been right tbh

Good news is: All dumb faces have been officially retired (growing up is a trip)

I actually sent that Xmas Card out in 2013 to family & friends....

What was I thinking?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fun fact this couch was actually a bong 😆

me at 14 then me at 41 with my 17 year old daughter! 😮‍💨😬🥺
My fav article of clothing I’ve ever owned!

I feel like they knew from this moment exactly how I'm gonna do in life lmao

The teddy bears on our sweaters are having a better day than any of us. They got knitted into a nightmare but at least they didn’t have bowl cuts

It's 44 pages long.

My friend was Tyler Durden. I cropped half of him out for privacy.

Technically it was "Mole Day", but it fell around halloween. 16 years ago!

Living life on the edge. 2009-20012ish Unleash your worst 🫣

Edit: I posted a blunder and accidentally opened an international discussion about how gun crazed Americans are. Plz don’t take my stupid ass teenage pics as a representation of all Americans lmao

They are so high up my belly button is 6 ft under.

And my parents think the autism diagnosis came out of nowhere 😭

I'm still cringe and that's ok :)

Picking up the new puppy in 1996 with my grandmother. Even amongst the cuteness it was illegal to smile.

This was just a phase.

My sister in law isn't in the picture but she isn't well. I thought I'd post this throwback to the edgy of seventeen, 2007, with this stunning display of goth/gay/gay goth. See if we get a good laugh out of it...

Was 19 or 20 at the time in university. The messy ponytail lasted all of a month before I got tired of it.

I definitely miss that hairline, though.

Once I had a pair of Chucks but my mom tossed em the instant they got grungy. In her defense, I hated socks as a kid. Shopped outta goodwills and those giant mystery bags from our cousins wirh money. So my blunder years were "punk/emo in spirit". I'm 39 graduated 2005 my favorite band then was Blink 182 and my favorite band now is The Talking Heads. It was never a phase just a matter of refining.

I still chuckle every time I see this picture. I thought I was so cool 😅
