So this summer i have taken about a thousand bajillion pictures.
The only problem is... what should i do with my digital images?? save them on my computer....(meaning... possibility that they will all be lost and i will never have those memories forever...) or print them out...(which could possibly cost me hundreds of dollars.) i mean, wow, i have a lot. i think that having tangible photographs would be a staple part of remembering those "good times" i had, but seriously, i will be needing to whittle them down to a serious few.
i can't even begin to imagine trying to think of all the things that happened off of the top of my head. But when i look at pictures, it is like all these times and the ones even in between the images reappear, just like jesus is magic. except, most of the memories i am recalling are not what we should consider holy.
I have gone through a lot of changes. Personal ones, mostly, i think i would say. Losing touch with people in the process i think is a part of life that i have to say i have been warned about. but not to forget all the new personalities that i have met. When someone first discussed with me this topic of friendships, i realized something, and that is this:
You just Have to think about it like this. There are people that you meet in your life that will probably not be in it for the long haul. But you get the knowledge from and the life experiences that you do from knowing them, and it will change you. And that may cause you to grow apart from a number of friends and acquaintances, and that may mean that they are gone from this part of your life story. And you have to accept that. And there will less likely be people in your life until the end of your story. but there may be one, or a few. But those relationships are the ones that you have to compromise and really work at.
and that is my little life lesson. and i totally can accept it. like... sometimes, you just find that there were people that you just grew out of, like your favorite t-shirt from when you were 12. you still like that shirt, but you just cant wear it, because there are too many holes in it because it wore thin, and it kinda looks silly, like a belly shirt or something. and those just arent hip right now.
Lesson Recap: Remember and accept the past. Then look forward, and accept the changes that will inevitably happen in the future.
Life, it's quite a page turner. Thats why so many people write auto biographies.
