“Each of us are grown, to a certain extent. We have experienced a childhood and learned to interact with the world physically, relationally, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Now, we have the opportunity to reflect. How do we want to move on from our youth? In what ways do we want to cherish our youth? I Once Was is an exploration of the reflection process, a look into all parts of ourselves as we continue to interact with the world .”
