not even trying to be pretentious (long time readers will remember this one !) i just think it’s nice take silly sweet photos of my friends on a camera that may be fuzzy but captures my love for them and the joy of the situation much more than a hdr corrected iphone photo does. plugging the memory card into a reader into an adaptor into my laptop and receiving the photos give me the feeling of yes ! i am a university student ! and not an oh god ! i have so much debt ! i love my friends (see previous pi.fyis)

i found a box of my parent’s photos from when they first started dating to their wedding and around when i was born and made me realize:
1. there is so much more life to live!! and i hope i can look back on my 20’s with the same fondness they do
2. how nice it is to have physical photos - i never go through my camera roll but i love revisiting old journals or scrapbooks and i think printing photos would have the same effect. i find that the phone camera effect almost makes taking pictures feel more disposable or practical rather than artistic (for me personally, ik a lot of people who have really nice camera rolls on their phones) so maybe getting a camera or just thinking about memory capture differently would aim me in this direction

i used to always be the one taking photos when my friends and i hung out and i've slowed down a lot lately, while my phone's storage is definitely thanking me i really miss it! i miss having a hundred photos of my friends smiling when i look in my camera roll. i've never had the best memory so it's capturing a moment i would never be able to properly picture (pun unintended) on my own. i think i got worn down by the number of friends i had who'd make fun of it and tell me to just live in the moment but also pester me for photos later, and the fact that since i was the only one ever taking them, i never had any photos of me, but when i hang out with some of my best friends with the same philosophy it's so lovely because we all end up with a million photos of each other being happy :))

see also: having a life that feels like your own, being able to feel happy, having people you care about and who care about you too, no reliance on the transpennine express, living in a place where the world doesn’t end at 5pm, seeing a castle and a big big hill and the moon on the way to see the girl you really really like, being in the position the child you in the small town could only dream of and didn’t believe could happen

my parents favourite tv show, and in watching it i can come to the conclusion that oh. yes. i am your child. grateful that you didn’t board oceanic flight 815 and birth me on a dodge island so that i can watch a show about that happening to other people. when people (like my parents) tell you this is the greatest show of all time THEY ARE NOT LYING ! i am only on season 3 but the levels of mouth wide open out loud saying what the fuck that i have reached ? dare i say more shocking than back to back scream tv series halloween special episode reveal followed by its immediate cancellation. cannot express my lost obsession to you right now i am having way too much fun.
