"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Every now and then, It's fun to look at some old photos and remember what was it like back then. You try to think of the people you were with at the time the photo was taken, & how it made you feel.
Memories, right? We often take photos with our loved ones to capture that moment's beauty. We want to immortalize and put a seal on it so it's never to be forgotten.
A beautiful reminder of something so wonderful.
But what if that something wonderful is gone forever?
It's amazing how that one single photo can hold so much power over you - you become nostalgic.
There are photographs that set off an emotion such as joy, sadness and often times - anger. There are stories in each photo that you can always cherish or DREAD for a lifetime.
Reminiscing the past through these images might open wounds you thought were already healed; painful memories you thought won't hurt you anymore; broken promises you thought you're over with - and those pictures are the sore reminder of these almost forgotten feelings. But that's pretty normal.
I personally look back at my old photos and remember the type of a person I was once when that photo was taken. Am I still the same person? Have I changed too much? Do I remain friends with the people with me then? Have they changed too?
Regardless, I think it's best to be grateful that once in our existence, we were able to experience something so wonderful with those people.
PICTURES - You can delete them or burn them or throw them all away. But you can never dismiss the reality that the stories behind these photos will forever be a part of who you are & who you will be.
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
