Have you ever started missing a moment while you’re still living it? 🥹🍂
That’s how this entire past weekend felt for me.
I really struggle with balancing being present in the moment and wanting to capture it in photos and videos so I can look back days, months, or years later and relive it all.
I don’t want to forget any of it. But I swear my memory is getting worse with age. There are photos buried deep in my camera roll that I have literally ZERO memory of taking. 😅
And sometimes I wonder if that’s actually an age thing, or if I’ve just become so reliant on my phone to remember everything for me. 🤔
When I was younger, we’d bring 1 or 2 disposable cameras on an entire family vacation. 48 photos TOPS for the whole trip! You had to be picky about what you photographed, and you had absolutely no idea how any of them turned out until you got them developed.
Now? I take 48 photos on a single hour-long hike. 😂 Multiple shots of the exact same thing because someone’s eyes were closed or someone’s hair looked weird. And of those 48 photos, there are probably only 5-10 I’d ever actually share or print.
Yet somehow, I have more vivid memories of certain moments from 20+ years ago than I do of things we did last year.
ANYWAY. That’s my little existential crisis for the day. 😂
Have you figured out how to balance actually living the moments with wanting to capture them so you never forget? Because I’d genuinely love to know. 🧡
