Chapter 5: The picture I love most 💖

Hello😀✌, first of all, I hope you all had a great week full of happiness. That said, today I want to talk a little bit about my favorite picture and show it to you, so here we go....

As you may notice, or maybe not, this is a picture of me when I was little, in fact I had already shown it in a previous blog. This picture was taken by my father during a trip to Santiago when I was about 6 years old, to be honest I don't remember it well, all my childhood memories are quite blurry. 

It's a pretty simple photo as you can see and there's nothing special about it at first sight, it's just me sitting on the balcony of an apartment we visited with my dad and his fiancée. However, for me it has a very special meaning and some reasons why I like it so much.

Basically, I like it because I look very happy in this picture, when I look at it I remember how happy I felt when I was little and how easy life seemed to be. Another reason why I like it is because I remember how photogenic and charismatic I was back then, which for some reason stopped being that way a long time ago. 

When I look at my current pictures, I notice that I'm always serious or with a fake smile, that's not my real smile at all, besides, now I don't have that ability to let someone else take pictures of me, not even my mom can, it makes me feel super uncomfortable. Now, I don't feel so confident of myself as the 6 years old Valentina.
