thank you for the memories

after reading sean and rirry's joint post, i wanted to write about it as well :3 because i agree with them so so badly. i also think it's sad when people you know become people you knew. it happens all the time, friendships change, people change and they slowly fade out of your life, but the sadness you're left with remains.
i don't really realise when a person is making their way out of my life, but when they're gone and so far away, that's the moment i notice their absence. when it's too late to change anything. it hurts when previous 'best friends' ultimately become strangers. conversations that could last for hours about nothing significant become quick polite 'how are you?' '...good' meaningless exchanges in school hallways.

but in a way, you could be grateful for the people who walk in and out of your life. they have shaped you into the person you are today. they probably changed you or have given you a little piece of themselves, but i think i'm grateful for those people, because i'm glad that they were once in my life rather than not at all.

i think this is maybe one of the reasons why i love photographs so much, why i'm so excited to take them and develop them and why i stick them up all over my bedroom walls. the photos i have up are ones where we're smiling or laughing genuinely or making retarded faces and great and funny moments that were luckily captured because i love those uncomplicated memories.
a photograph doesn't grow old. the people in them may change, but the photo and the memory it represents always stay the same.
