Look at this photograph...everytime I do it makes me laugh...every memory of looking out the back door...I have a photo album spread out on my bedroom floor...It's hard to say, time to say it...goodbye, goodbye...I miss that town...I miss the faces...you can't erase it...you can't replace it...I miss it now...I can't believe it...so hard to stay...so hard to leave it...if I could I relive those days...I know the one thing that would never change...Nickelback "Photographs"
My windows screensaver is the picture slideshow, so whenever I don't use my computer for 15 minutes, the screensaver automatically starts to display the myriad of pictures from my computer. When I look at those photographs, my original thought is of course I miss the good ol' days and a smile always appears on my face because the memory of the good times from that picture brings good emotions. I treasure those memories.
What is not so pleasing is, first and foremost, seeing how much weight I gained since some of those pictures. Then, it is realizing how much I have grown up since. I don't really know the me that I see in those pictures anymore. This is a good and a bad thing...good b/c I know I am not as naive as I used to be in those pictures...and bad b/c my innocence has been long gone...Finally, the photographs remind me of the days when all my friends lived in our safe haven, the Bay Area...we can't turn back time so the photographs will just be a way to reminisce about the past and will be a constant reminder to treasure each moment b/c as each moment passes, they will become memories, some of which are captured in the photograph...
