a great post, i think collecting images of enjoyable moments for the future is a very nice thing as long as it doesn't reduce the joy of the moment being recorded at present, it's about balancing between living the moment & keeping photos for surfing back n time & remembering all the enjoyable moments we experienced through our lifetime. totally agree that all adults definitely did ignore so many things when younger & n early years, being at a point where being able to slow down a little bit and appreciate the small things around is being more mentally grown up a kind of mental age regardless of the physical age -so one doesn't need to b middle aged to think that way & certainly being a parent is 1 of the major causes of such a change. about feeling sad that ur kid won't b a kid anymore at some point- i think all parents have such a feeling where they somewhat wish f their kids could stay kids for longer, but also i think parents shouldn't show that for their kids so that kids don't feel guilty about something they don't control which is growing up. finally great photos- well done
Oh for sure with my son I don’t enact behaviors to infantalize him but just somber reflection watching him grow and become a young man. It’s such an important phase of life and enjoyable for nearly everything we do.
It’s also really important that we take a step back and learn to appreciate the things around us a lot more. Walking on a beautiful trail, stopping to take a few photos and just soak in the moment for a little bit. These are important things for us to do!
It’s strange I didn’t see your comment.. it got filtered out of my notifications. I rather enjoyed it so if you happen to reply or comment on one of my future posts just tag me with @ for a little bit and I’m hoping the system recognizes this as a real comment.
Take care!
