Sometimes it’s just nice to be able to see it, memories can start to decline, become faded, or fuzzy as you get older. You likely wouldn’t be able to vividly remember events from 20, 30, or 40 years ago. It’s just nice to see it visibly sometimes I guess.

The best advice I ever received as a teenager during my third trip abroad was from a 60-something year old world traveler. This was pre-social media, and I would carry a polaroid or film camera every where I went. He said "Relax. Put the camera down, You need to learn to live in the moment" and I said "But what if I don't remember later?" and he chuckled and said "If you can't remember then it clearly wasn't that great...trust me, you'll remember." I was 16 when I met him and I'm now 35. I've realized that even when the images in our minds get a bit blurry, one never forgets the feelings. And every memory can become vividly clear when a certain scent triggers a locked away memory, in a way that a picture can't quite make things come to life. Even now, at 35, I can still remember the scent of the flowers outside that gentleman's house. It was one of the most joyous summers of my life. These days I have pictures shown to me and even with the picture in front of me sometimes, I can't remember much about the images. The brain remembers what it wants to remember. Not all memories are created equal. And the only way to have lasting images in the mind is to be fully present in our own lives. Pictures aren't always enough, nor are they worth taking in the midst of new experiences. Pictures are for when an experience has become stale enough to ignore. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Omg that girl that almost fell it was not her time yet.. I pray for the soul of that woman who died may she be in peace what a horrific way to go... And peace to her family specially those who were there to watch ... May God heal their trauma.🙏🙏
