Faded Photographs...





Life is funny. 

It's like a scrapbook of old faded photos thrown together that only makes sense to those in those photos...
 The people who smiled and posed for those flashing lights... 

But we forget what those photos were taken for...
It was for us to remember the happy moments, to capture them as they pass before our eyes so we may never forget they ever happened.

But sometimes we forget about these photographs, and they fade away in the dark recess of our drawers. Those happy moments that were so precious to us fade away and become just photographs... 
Just people we knew, places we visited... 

Happiness that was temporary.


Now as I go through these old photographs, 


I realize the importance of those moments...


Why we were smiling...


Why we were posing...


It wasn't cause we were happy that we survived yesterday...


It wasn't cause we were looking forward to tomorrow...


But we were living in those moments..


Where we were happy to be around each other..


In the company of our loved ones...


In those precious moments that meant the world to us... 
That still do.



Don't ever forget those moments,,
Those smiling faces in those photographs might never smile again for us to see... 
So take out your photographs, take out your memories, your life, and look through it before it truly becomes lost...


Life is funny. 

It's like a scrapbook of old faded photos thrown together that only makes sense to those in those photos...
 The people who smiled and posed for those flashing lights... 

But even those faded photographs can't take away those moments from us...
