shadows

Memories seem to fade over time, they turn into shadows of the life that we've lived. It's hard to think back over times past and notice the details start fading and then disappearing all together. Trying to recall times that made you laugh, made you cry, and made your breath stop at moments.

It makes the memories currently being made bittersweet. Concentrating so hard to concrete all of the details into my mind, and at the same time trying so hard to have a good time. It seems so difficult. That's why it became a habit to have a camera in hand at all times, but no one likes the photo-happy girl snapping shots all evening. I'm just scared to forget. The things I'm trying so hard not to let slip away; I don't have room for anything new but I don't want to forget any of it-new or old, good, bad, happy, or sad. Not a single moment.
