8 YEARS AGOโฆ I HAD NO IDEA. โจ๐ฆ
Eight years ago, my sister dragged me to the Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco. ๐
At the time, I didnโt even eat ice cream. I was vegan. So naturally I thought, โWellโฆ why not?โ ๐
But I had the BEST time. It was colorful, ridiculous, playful, and basically a photographerโs dream. And then I came across a wall that asked:
โWhat do you scream for?โ ๐ฆ
There were magnets everywhere. People chose love. Their spouses. Their families. All sorts of sweet things.
And without really thinking about it, I chose:
KINDNESS. ๐
Eight years later, I honestly think Iโd put the exact same thing on that wall.
Because somehow, kindness has always been there. Long before Mrs. Sprinkles. Long before the parlor. Long before I could have ever imagined what ice cream would become in my life.
And nowโฆ LOOK AT ME. ๐๐ฆ๐
The girl who didnโt even eat ice cream somehow ended up owning an ice cream parlor. The girl who always loved sprinkles now has sprinkles basically everywhere. And that girl standing in that sprinkle pool had absolutely NO idea sheโd one day be looking back at these photos thinking, โWaitโฆ was this a little preview of my life?โ ๐ฅน
That sprinkle pool was EVERYTHING. I even went down a giant slide into a pool FULL of sprinkles. Truly, what more could a person ask for?! ๐๐
And yes, I have ALWAYS loved sprinkles. I firmly believe sprinkles belong on nearly everything. ๐
Now, nearly a decade later, these pictures mean SO much more to me than they ever did that day.
Because sometimes life gives you these tiny little moments that don't seem important at the timeโฆ until years later when you realize they were part of the story all along. โค๏ธ
And now next year I hope Iโm heading to Las Vegas because they just opened a new Museum of Ice Cream there, and I CANNOT WAIT to recreate some of these photos nearly a decade later. ๐ฆโจ
Althoughโฆ I have one tiny complaint.
Their sprinkle pool is pink.
And I am a nostalgic rainbow sprinkle girl. ๐๐
But Iโll allow it.
Hereโs to full-circle moments, ridiculous amounts of sprinkles, and choosing kindness every single time. ๐๐ฆ
What do YOU scream for? โค๏ธ
