Writing Prompt #3

Take an old family photograph (with you in it) and study it. What do you see in it that is similar to your life today, to the persona you've become? What is vaguely similar? What bears no resemblance or suggests nothing memorable? What ended up as opposite of what you see? Explain this to yourself. What faces - teachers, relatives, friends, neighbors, nemeses, strangers, pets - appear unbidden? Connect with something old so that it becomes new. Look and imagine.
