    I love how you expressed that your image connects you to the past and the future. I also really like your expression. This feels like a candid shot with you holding the phone and laughing in the dark. Your smile feels genuine.

Not sure if that makes sense. Just an observation. I love the way this feels real and I the moment. Eyes closed adds to the story you told about thinking about the past and the future.
