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
