I've always loved taking photos and
videos most of it arises from a genuine
appreciation of the beauty that I find
in life and in people a desire to
capture and look back on the happy
Beautiful
Moments I could talk for hours more just
about this but I must acknowledge that
part of my desire to constantly Capture
Moments on camera arises from something
else as
well I take photos in fear of losing
[Music]
memories something that has troubled me
for the past few years is the
unreliability and fallibility of memory
the fear that the things I consider are
part of my everyday now the people the
routine the moments will slowly be
forgotten with the passage of time the
fear that my memory cannot be trusted
that I cannot rely solely on my own
memories to recreate my most beloved
experiences completely entirely
accurately so as an attempt at a
solution I reach for my phone or camera
almost every time I realize I want to
remember a certain
moment it stems from a desire to
eternalize it somehow to ensure that it
is not lost amongst the waves in the
ocean of time that I can have it safe
cued in the palm of my hand not hidden
in the depths and crevices of my
mind that I will always be able to
return to it with
ease that it will always be there
waiting for me
almost like evidence or proof that the
moment really did happen and is not just
a figment of my
imagination proof of existence proof
that there was
love that I was
happy that I was in love with
[Music]
life but a realization that has dawned
on me is that I cannot take photos and
videos of
everything yes there are the special
Grand extravagant moments the ones
easier to remember to
photograph but there's a part of me that
wishes I could also capture the moments
in between the moments that truly make
life wonderful the moments that are
almost too beautiful for me to take out
a phone or camera to
capture the initial Embrace of I missed
you when seeing an old friend after a
long time SP spontaneous late night
drives singing and screaming in the car
to music that is way too
loud the inside jokes that make me laugh
every time I think of them but I know we
be forgotten with the passage of
time the purposeless walks filled with
talking about both everything and
nothing the summer nights spent sitting
in silence on
beaches the warm Hogs and little touches
of
affection the Naps we take in the quiet
afternoons the small talks I have with
my mom just before we fall
asleep the warmth of homecooked meals
the evenings we spend watching films and
talking about our future
plans the joy of playing board games in
the dead of night the train ride home
hand in
hand the laughter the laughter the
laughter
[Music]
it is these little but great moments in
between that make life what it is the
moments in between the seemingly more
important ones the moments that can
easily pass you by if gone
unnoticed the moments that slip through
the crack of a lens too fleeting and
intimate to be
recorded it is these moments that I am
unable to capture on a camera the
moments that I can only remember through
the feeling of the
time it is these moments that I cherish
the most it is the moments in between
that make life as beautiful as it
is on one hand I still do wish I could
record these moments in the form of a
photograph or
video sometimes I make a poor attempt to
capture these moments but no matter how
hard I try the best moments simply do
not call for a
camera I cannot capture the the pure
blissfulness and warmth of these moments
by any
means and in many ways I find that so
beautiful the fact that these quiet soft
gentle moments are so wonderful that
even a phone or camera cannot capture
their beauty in its entirety that only
through recollection can they be
recreated and realizing this realizing
how much I cherish the moments in
between I have somewhat come to terms
with the fact that I am unable to
capture every single beautiful moment on
camera that it is okay to let some
moments go without having to leave some
sort of tangible way of remembering
them that perhaps some moments are to be
felt rather than
captured it is not that I have to store
it in my memory it is that I get to
although I will not necessarily be able
to recall every moment down to the most
accurate detail I get to store it in my
mind in my
memory just because memory is unreliable
and fallible it does not mean that it
becomes tarnished or
distorted it becomes
adorned my memories become adored with
time through my thoughts and emotions
and experiences
until they become infused with a
permanent golden
hue there is a quote I read
once the more you love your friends the
more their features start to blur until
all you remember is a pair of warm
welcoming eyes and laughter that feels
like
home and I think that is how I feel
about these moments in
between yes maybe one day with the
imperfections of memory faces might
become a blur and the colors will become
softer and voices will fade into the
distance sure in the future I might not
be able to remember every single late
night drive or every single inside jerk
or every single board game we
played but it will be
okay even without photos and videos that
have captured every single one of these
small moments even without a perfect
memory The Feelings Will linger long
after the moment has
passed the Love Will
linger and I will feel a sense of warmth
inside I will feel and feel and feel
yeah how do you feel I feel
alive I will look back in the world I
know now will be
golden like a warm gentle light that
glows and
Whispers it was so good it was so
good and the memories will be
eternalized in my mind in my
memory and the love will always
remain the love will always remain
