For context, if you are shy or uncomfortable having your pictures taken, please reconsider! My uncle passed away due to cancer a few years ago and we realized that he didn't like his pictures taken.... So now all we have to remember him by are a handful of pictures.

My Condolences.

When I turned 24 and started to make friends outside the circle of friends that I grew up with I realized I had so many pictures of everything but of me in them to show , to remember those times by. It was kind of awful , and now I make an effort to be a part of the memories i am making if only to one day look back at what i looked liked then. Social media ruin being part of pictures for me but trying to connect to other people in real life and being kinder to myself made me realise why is actually very important to me. There are memories I have zero pictures of just because "I don't want to make this moment about pictures and social media" as if there is no other purpose to pictures but social media , i was a dummy.

The worse part is there is a lot of pictures i am in that i don't remember the context of until other people bring up the story of it. I guess the whole “We didn't know we were making memories, we just. knew we were having fun." - Winnie the Pooh. Is legitness. So be part of the picture people even if just to remember youself by.
