I’m not sure I remember why I went quiet on social media. Or maybe I do somewhere but some part of me just doesn’t want to go back there.
What it meant for me was not posting any photos someone like me would be inclined to do. While the desire to take photos and document moments was there, I decided to create a private photo journal instead to appease my creative self. I made it a space that was mine alone, with no audience to perform for.
While cleaning up my files today, I stumbled on the photo journal and with it were moments I had completely forgotten. I may be back to posting online now with a YouTube channel even, which still surprises me a little because of the deliberating I did over that decision. But what the photo journal reminded me is how ordinary days are worth keeping.
