Dear Photograph

Dear Photograph,
It was 2003 and I was still in college trying to decide whether I should become a psychologist, a social worker or a rock star. The hair, the cigarette and playing my guitar during breaks while hanging out in the student office led me to believe I was on my way to becoming the rock star.  Nowadays, I still play the guitar here and there, I’ve cut my hair and quit smoking. I’m a psychologist and I’m still deciding whether I’ve sold out or I’ve become a productive adult.
