Old school/ New School. Same ol' /Same new.

Today I'm reminiscing and comparing. 

I've changed a lot since I was a kid but in so many ways, 

over the last 19 years, I haven't changed at all.

These pictures are from the archives;

some are 16 years old, some are from 2 or 3 years ago. 

But I am still the same little old me, Isabella.

And there ain't no amount of time that can change that.

 I was born with big eyes and a sense of narcissism.

I've a thing for the out of doors and adventuring.

 I always have and always will adore trees.
Especially climbing them; I love heights.

I'll never pass up an opportunity to wear a costume. Seriously, never.

 

I've always been full of an abundance silliness and sass.

And, to quote my buddy William Shakespeare, I am "either a god or a painter for [I] make faces." 
LOTS of 'em.
*disclaimer.  I am sure I am not a god and I know I am not a painter. It is just a quote, so take it easy, people.

Do you, like me, ever forget how much you've changed over the years? Do you, like me, though you have matured and changed, FEEL just the same as you did when you were... I dunno 9? 
Or am I the only one...? Hmmm.
