Wrinkles
I keep a picture of myself
in my wallet’s display section
and when I say “myself” I mean
the child that I was and am
the little centre staring back at me
from out a rough-edged photograph
retaining shy and gentle grin
although the creases crack the skin
in my wallet’s display section
and when I say “myself” I mean
the child that I was and am
the little centre staring back at me
from out a rough-edged photograph
retaining shy and gentle grin
although the creases crack the skin

I have a school ID from when I was 15. I don't know why I still keep it. I guess something it's nice to look back to a different time.

Apparently it’s something that actors do because it helps them to see who they really are, which in turn helps them to empathise with their characters.
Regardless what a person does in their life, they were always a blameless child once, and that constant fact for me means that that child is always inside them. Thank you for your kind comment, Indie. x

I like that idea of actors keeping the child inside close to their hearts. Thanks for sharing that 😊
