I call this look “Christian Granny Goth” and it was pretty bold for a 12 year old in 1995.

1989… I cut my own bangs for picture day

Bless my Dad for capturing this historic moment.

Hi my name is Jacob and when I was a kid, I didn’t have to look both ways before crossing the street.

I was 100% done with life at the age of 4.

My now husband and me circa 2004, a year or two before we would meet.

The year was 1990. Spiral perms and shoulder pads.

I just got traumatised when looking for a picture on my fathers facebook page. No, I was not a 40 year old librarian, I was just an 11 year old boy.

It’s not a phase, mom!

I thought if I shaved my eyebrows off it would be easier to make them symmetrical. For this heinous act, I am sorry.

This is how my (now wife) and I went to prom. No regrets, 2008.

1995, age 10. I loved that dress and turtleneck combo and wore it everywhere. My mom cut my hair with a Flowbee at home.

I could never replicate the volume my hair had after 7th grade gym class and a chi straightener.

My 2003 High School senior picture!

Not terrible, but I spent 4th grade cosplaying as Jimmy Neutron with that helmet of hair. I’m a girl btw.

Me and friends before a Disturbed concert in 2006. We’re so cool posing in front of Mom and the van.

Photographer said shoulders back, head forward, and I delivered.
