Pictures

Occasionally I get in the mood to write. Write about life, love, sadness, laughter, anything that comes to mind, really. Usually the things I write when I get into one of those moods are short and to the point, but I kind of like it that way. This afternoon I got to thinking about something I had written about pictures a year or two back.

"Pictures are worth way more than 1000 words because there is nothing like looking back at pictures of your five-year-old self with your old best friends and wishing you could have just one more moment with them."

I don't have a picture from when I was five on my computer, but I do have one from either my 8th or my 9th birthday party
Even though I love the friends I have now, it's hard not to wonder how life would be different if I was still friends with any of them, or if I even still talked to any of them. I am so thankful that even though I have no recollection of this particular day, I have a picture that captures that moment perfectly and am thankful that in 10 years, I'll be able to look at pictures of me now with the friends I have now and will be able to recall the second of time the picture perfectly captures.
