I was a pessimistic 5 year old


A couple of days ago I sifted through some memories. I chuckled when I found this poem I wrote when I was 5, a few days before my mother went on vacation to Holland.

She went to Holland
She went to Spain
She went to Holland
and we never saw her again.

Fast forwarding a few years to my "rebelious" years. Yes. Sweet Stephanie who does nothing but practice the piano did indeed go through this phase. Here's a picture to prove it.

When I was 11 years old I wanted to be a rock star. I also wanted to die my hair black and have bangs that covered my left eye. I thought I was extremely hard-core but really the worst thing I ever did while I was a rebel was sing along to the song "Ka-Ching" by Shania Twain (a song about money with the lyrics "all we ever want is more, a lot more than we had before"...for some reason I would feel incredibly cool while singing it).

Thankfully, this phase did not last long.
