After I take a photo, I only look for my old face.
On a rainy day, I look at a photo I took by the window and reach for an old picture before I look at how I look now.

- Comparison Starts First — They flipped through the photos, looking back and forth between their old face and the one they have now. They saw the difference, but it doesn't define their worth.
- The Difference Doesn't Define My Worth — When your appearance changes, the standards you were used to can shift too. It's easy to lump a change in your face together with your worth as a person.
- Notice One More Thing About Yourself Today — Tonight, close the photo and think of one thing that describes you besides your face right now. If nothing comes to mind, simply noticing that moment is enough.
- One Photo Can't Tell My Whole Story — Even on days I miss my old face, I've lived through more than what's in that photo. I'll look at myself today the way I look at the umbrella by the window.
