“Documenting life as it happened seemed like a way of not experiencing it. As if posing for photographs, or focusing on what to save and call a souvenir, made the present instantly the past. You had to choose one or the other was Everly’s feeling. Try to shape a moment into a memory you could save and look at later, or have the moment as it was happening, but you couldn’t have both.”
-Rachel Kushner, Telex from Cuba
Memories, especially those moments that make you feel more alive, will make you feel warm.
Regrets stem from memories that we can no longer revisit.
There are mementos about those memories to remind ourselves that it happened, like a photo journal back in those days when photographs were tangible things instead of digital.
Capturing a photo might be to make things memorable, but the most joyful moments might not be taken in a picture.
