this was so heartwarming. i resonated with this. not long ago, i was ashamed to be the one who documents.. until one day, an elder died and everyone was asking me for pictures. that’s when i knew how important it is to document. we as humans love to connect with the past and use that to express love and grief.

This was beautiful. I recently purchased a photo book to keep all my Polaroids. I am writing dates at the bottom so that my future kids (and myself) can look back at moments of my life later.

There is so much meaning in life that we can create by being intentional. Being an obsessive observer as you say, love the term.

Love that you’re doing that. I’m inspired to do the same! Something about holding a physical photo is just 🤌🏽

I loved this 💕 i have a big collection of letters from friends too and I think I’m going to start collecting them in a scrapbook! I am getting into junk journaling too as it’s such a good way to remember little moments :)
