Renewed

I had to go and renew my drivers license today. After an hour and 15 minutes waiting in line, I held in my hand a new identification card. Comparing the photo on my old license to the new, I realized that not only was I now a legal driver again, but I was a renewed person. No longer am I held back (as much) by my insecurity and self-consciousness. It is drastically reduced from the crippling fear I once felt. Looking at these two pictures, I feel happy with myself and proud of what I have accomplished and continue to accomplish.
