I remember coming across my grandmothers wedding photos once when I was a wee kid. And it’s never stopped intriguing me. It’s like they lived separate lives. I’ve only known them since I was born and it makes me curious to know who they were as individuals before me.
I stay in the storeroom of my house now, so once every few months I look through all the albums stored here… photos of my parents when they were my age, when they started dating, schooling and having fun.
It’s such a bittersweet feeling.

recently I found some old family photos that I hadn’t looked at in a few years. of my parents, and their parents and even one of my great grandfather (who had amazing cheekbones….) and a lot of photos of young me. there was one of my grandmother standing in front of her school with classmates and just looking Exactly like herself only younger and even cheekier and maybe quieter than she is today and I loved seeing how she dressed herself then knowing she is a Recovering Shopaholic now and basically I feel close to her when I remember and tell a story of her. (She is the diva standing 5th from left)

Currently going through them and seeing the people that I liked, the people that I hated, and the memories I forgot all about. Can't wait to show them to people when it is 2069 and I am in a rocking chair on a porch in Victoria Falls as I regale them with stories about people whose names I can barely remember.

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.
