Why This Simple 2019 Long Island Selfie Is So Poignant & Symbolic Today — IMRAN®



Why This Simple 2019 Long Island Selfie Is So Poignant & Symbolic Today — IMRAN®

Do you ever see an old photo and realize how surprisingly it reflects the current moment or your present stage in life?

Life's journey twists in ways we never expect, yet I remain deeply grateful for each experience and every blessing along the way.

I just came across two iPhone XS selfies from a quick late‑spring visit to my Long Island home — May 3rd, 2019. It was one of those classic early‑May New York days, hovering in the low 50s, the kind that still calls for a light jacket once the sun dips and the chill rolls back in.

What struck me most in this image wasn't the weather or the moment — but the symbolism in my life today. The photo shows me standing beside my open door, about to head out. I had no idea how meaningful that image would feel seven years later, especially in the quiet challenges I've faced since last year.

As some doors close and I prepare to say goodbye to my Florida home of 14 blessed years, I hold onto the certainty that God always opens new doors… often to places and gifts greater than we imagined.

Looking back now, the two photos capture more than a memory. They reflect today's transitions, resilience, and gratitude — and the promise of new chapters and greater tomorrows still unfolding.
