A few weeks ago, it occurred to me, that I am very good at living in the moment. I have read countless blog posts about how we take so many pictures and don't experience the fun. And I have made the choice to not over-document and stay in the moment.
But the flip side of that is that I have few pictures of me with my friends. I swear to you, I have friends. I even go out and do things with them from time to time. But I don't actually document that. So last weekend, I said to my friend: take a picture with me. That way if I die tomorrow my children will know that I had a life that was full.
My life is full. And I have so many dear friends, and I want to be able to look back and have visual proof of it. Do I need to take 97 pictures? No. But is it really not living in the moment to take 1? Also no.
I am glad I took these pictures and I am going to keep trying to take pictures with my friends as I can.
I am also bad about taking photos especially if I am going to be in them. A lit of times I find it to awkward if we're out in public. But really, these days no one cares! I'm glad you got some (or 97) pictures with your friends!
