This is so wild…AI created a portrait by combining a photo of me as an adult and a photo of me as a little girl. This is grown-up Meghan Lynn holding little Meghan Lynn…and for some reason, looking at this picture made me incredibly emotional. There are so many things I wish I could tell this little girl…so, here it goes.

Dear Little Meg,
You are so full of wonder, curiosity, and an endless supply of imagination. I want you to know that all those little dreams you have, the ones that make you giggle and twirl around the living room, are not just fleeting thoughts. They are the seeds of who you will become. The world will try to mold you into something you’re not. Just remember, it’s your individuality that will make you shine. And kid, you better learn to own it.
I know how hard it is for you to speak up right now. You despise sharing your thoughts with other people, and you never want your voice to be heard. You just want to blend into the background. You are a shy little thing, and the thought of attention terrifies you, doesn’t it? But I want to tell you something important: though you are quiet now, that voice of yours is a gift, and when you learn to use it, it will lead you to incredible places.
You’re probably gonna wonder what your purpose is from time to time, but don’t worry—you’ll find it. You’re not gonna believe this, but right now we entertain lots of people on something called social media. Millions, as a matter of fact. You’re going to create content that ends up resonating with people around the globe. The very thing that once made you so anxious will actually become your strength. Can you imagine? You’ll be sharing stories, ideas, and experiences. You’ll cook some, you’ll laugh a lot, sometimes you’ll play the devil and sometimes you’ll play the devil’s advocate….and you’ll love other people unconditionally and unapologetically through that content.
I don’t want to disappoint you kid, but life won’t always be easy for you. As you grow up, you’ll experience moments of grueling heartbreak and disappointment. These are really tough lessons, but they are also opportunities for you to grow. Be kind to yourself when this happens. Don’t lose your spark. Life is a beautiful tapestry woven with both joy and sorrow, and each thread is purposefully woven together to create the masterpiece that is you. Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, and even though the road may not always be smooth, it will lead you to some beautiful places.
The world is waiting to hear what you have to say, kid…and it’s going to be an incredible adventure when you do.
All my love,
Meghan Lynn

To create your own AI image on Gemini, you can use this prompt:
“Take a photo taken with a Polaroid camera. The photo should look like an ordinary photograph, without an explicit subject or property. The photo should have a slight blur and a consistent light source, like a flash from a dark room, scattered throughout the photo. Don't change the faces. Change the background behind those two people with white curtains, with me hugging my younger self.”
I want to see your pictures! 💗
