Been really getting into getting my disposable kodak film developed and keeping them in a cute little photo album and it got me thinking. My whole teen years have been documented on facebook and instagram or whatever and if anything were to happen to those platforms or if someone deletes their account those photos are GONE. Download your tagged photos, make a cute little photo album of them so that you know they aren't going to go anywhere. No matter how dumb they might seem, they are precious.

Collections of digital photos are more ephemeral than we think. I make it a point to periodically order prints of my favorite photos from each year. The material stuff doesn’t last forever either, but unless you’re a fastidious digital archivist, the physical may stick around longer. As someone who’s witnessed the slow death of a couple of social media websites and personal computers, those photos of friends, family or a building you liked the look of in 2015 often land in the internet graveyard. There’s an inherent value to the tangible and the touchable. The fact that I still have photos of my mom as a teenager astounds me.

ever since I lost all the photos I took on my iphone 5S back in 2018 I have SWORN to always back up my camera roll to each new phone I get my hands on!! I am SUCH a hoarder for screenshots and atp there’s just way too many to reasonably filter through so Ive just accepted that they all can stay. screenshots of conversations with people who I don’t even speak to anymore. Screenshots of assorted instagram memes that i wanted to send to certain people years ago. They all served a purpose once upon a time and now they get to retire into the depths of familiarity amidst the other masses of images I have no reason to keep. But I keep them anyway. Maybe in 50 years time when my body and soul is uploaded into the cloud I will be able to walk back down through my camera roll and relive the memories I decided not to delete. That would be nice

Get a cheap point and shoot and just record little corners of your life. Revel in the quotidian beauty of it all. Enjoy where you are right now, and let these photos serve as a tender reflection of where you have been and how far you have come

or really any social media stories. I know social media is just a highlight of a persons life but I feel like the stories feature is just a bombardment of happening-in-present-time content for me to compare myself to. my mental health has improved drastically.
