Prompt 10: Do you look similar or very different from how you looked ten years ago?

I look around at the people I used to go to school with. They really have not changed much in their looks. Yes, they have gotten older, had children, or gotten married. However, they still look the same. The only difference may be a new hairstyle or something minor.

I still look the same as I did back when I was younger. I have had customers that worked at my former elementary school speak to me, calling me by my first name, "Hello, Cindy." I look at them and respond, "Hello. Do I know you?" The first customer who did that had been the hall monitor when I was in elementary school. My fourth grade teacher has even spoke to me and I had to do a double take. One of my former co-workers was a girl I went to school with over 25 years ago! She still looked the same.

It really surprises me when I am still recognized after all these years. I have even reconnected with the lunch ladies from my middle school days! I remember the day I ran into my best friend's mom at college. She said, "Hi Cindy." I looked her and responded, "Hi. Do I know you?" She told me she was Felicia's mom. I asked her what gave me away. Her response, "Your trademark ponytail and Backstreet Boys jacket." We burst into laughter.

I suppose it is a good thing that I have not changed in looks much. I do not mind. I am still the tomboy I always have been.

Until next time...

Happy Writing!
