A few years ago, up until my later years in high school I was never the type of person to constantly take photos of anything and everything, or post them on social media. I never saw a reason to, I always thought they were a waste of my time and storage space. But as I’ve grown older I now understand the value those photos hold. They’re a way to look back on the past, and relive wonderful moments that I may have otherwise forgotten about. After realising this I do my best to take photos and videos of my happiest moments – with my friends, my family, my firsts, and new experiences. Doing this also goes hand and hand with journaling, just as that is a record of my life so are the photos. 20 years from now I want to be able to remember what life was back then and how far I’ve come from, and photos and writings of the past are a beautiful way to do so. I want to continue to treasure these moments, as a reminder of how blessed I am to have a life like mine.
