Is that REALLY me?
However, I can’t shake the feeling when I look at the picture that it isn’t me? Am I having a crisis about my image? Am I in shock that I’m ACTUALLY married? Do I just not want to be one of those girls that makes her wedding the sum of her whole identity as a woman?
I have no idea. I feel like there’s a psychological reason for why I don’t want that photo as my profile photo anymore. I like it. I don’t mind looking at it. What’s my issue?
Hm, interesting. I’m not a psychologist…so I don’t have the answers. Having a wedding picture as your profile identity *is* a pretty powerful statement though. I can understand why it would cause emotions. I completely agree with you about how some women make their wedding their whole identity. I think it’s an important distinction that you were a bride in the picture and now for the rest of you’re life you are a strong married woman. The picture doesn’t represent who you are as a person, it represents the women you were that day, for that special event. It’s okay to want to put a ‘regular everyday’ kind of picture back as your online identity. :)
By the way, you were a gorgeous bride! I hope I’m that gorgeous in my wedding someday! :)
