The Importance of Pictures



Do you ever love to take a trip down memory lane? I do, all the time. I keep every picture I can possibly find from my past and I feel like it is something I will forever continue to do. It baffles me how we are able to capture a single moment, literally stop time and have it as something you can always look back on. At times I find it hard to look back on pictures, especially of myself, knowing that I will never be the person I was in those pictures again can sometimes be oddly upsetting. Growing and changing is a part of life and although we may not be the same person we were yesterday, that doesn’t take away from the people we are today.




Out of all the photos I have, looking at ones where it’s me and my family are my favourites to see. In the same way that I have changed a lot from being the young girl in these photos, so have all of the other people in them, I often find a lot of comfort in reminiscing about the all the different versions of themselves that my families have been as well.  


Taking photos is something that I will always value and is a value that runs throughout my family, especially the females. One thing I will always be thankful for is that my parents took photos! I like to think that when I am older, and my memory starts to fade all I will have to do is reach for different scrapbooks and albums (not that I have actually made any of them yet, I keep telling myself that I am getting around to it aha!) and I will be transported back to my younger years.

My advice to anyone and everyone will always be to take pictures, take lots of pictures and treasure them like they have the value of gold!
Lots of Love, Holly x
