Many people wrongly believe that taking lots of pictures proves they have a life. Its so clear on facebook that people who have numerous albums of nothing are just trying to validate their existance rather than correctly use pictures as a way to relive happy times. Its so much more meaningful to have a few tokens of the memories that meant something than having hundreds of pictures of nothing. My grandmother told me that I shouldn’t take too many pictures. At the time, i thought she was so wrong because in our modern digital age, lots of pictures are supposed to be taken. Only recently did I understand the spirit of her message, which is to preserve the important things rather than waste time on things that are so-so.

Happy things are so much better to reflect on.
