Circa 1989
Bye-bye was my favorite word when I was a kid. Every time my mother said, “We’re going bye-bye” and waved, I would jump up, put my shoes on right away and make a dash for the door. I thrived on being adventurous and exploring the world outside of my home. On weekends, if my parents didn’t have any plans and were not going anywhere, I would moan all day by constantly saying, “I’m bored! I want to go out!” If my parents said they’d go out but at a certain time, I would pester them every five minutes saying, “Is it time yet to go out?” “Is it time to go out yet?” I could never sit still or stay in one room all day. I am the person who always has to be on the move.
In this photo, I was so upset that my mother had said that we were not going anywhere for the day. Because I still didn’t want to listen to her, I became determined that I would still go out by trying to open the door myself.
After all, I was always meant to be an adventurous girl. Who knew that many years later I’d be become addicted to exploring the world and constantly moving to new places?
