This topic feels so close to my heart! I've seen very few people who hoard memories ( like me) and then write about those things (like I do😭). These may just be mere letters, bracelets, cards to some people but they're fragments of the past reminding us of the good times and emotions.... Beautifully written 💕✨

“I’ve begun to view my sentimentality as a defiance against the ephemeral nature of existing. It’s a way of saying I was here. This mattered to me. I like to think of it more as a testament to the ability to find beauty and purpose in a world that can seem devoid of both.”

Beautifully written!!

Also it looks like I’ll be giving pop song a read.

That is a wonderful opening quote that well-encapsulates and leads into your body—how since time passing is bittersweet, you like to keep mementos of it. What a passion to inspire photography! Thanks for sharing!
