I Can’t Remember

There is so much I want to remember
I find it kind of hard to remember things if there isn’t some sort of alarm telling me a to go put away my clothes. I’ve never been able to use a planner. Never used one for more than a day in elementary school. I would never remember to check them. They were very useless for me. I always relied on my brain to remember when things were due. It’s worked for a long time. Now I can’t remember that well.
It’s kind of scary.
I mean , I think they’re just being replaced with other things. Because life goes on. And you can’t stop time. But I’d still like to remember them. They’re important.
They were important
I don’t know if I let go first. Or if they did. N O W t h e y ’r e g o n e .
AND I don’t remember how to act in groups. M A Y B E I never knew how to. I t ’s hard to tell
I don’t remember a lot of what I learned in school
Or what I did...
But I know that Comic Sans is used by kindergarten teachers.
And I have tiny precious moments that I’ll cherish.
But eventually they won’t matter anymore. They’ll be replaced with something else. And it goes on.

don’t m e this.
If I don’t , I’m only hurting myself
BUT ...
THERE’S
A
CATCH
IT’S NOT THE SAME F O R D I G I TA L PHOTOGRAPHS
SO FAR the pictures I’ve shown were all taken with 35mm film. Film is difficult and annoying, but I really love it. Most times the photos come out perfect, sometimes it just doesn’t come out well at all. But it’s there. And I can’t delete it. I can’t get rid of it. It forces me to remember... if that makes sense? For some reason, at least for me, this doesn’t really translate to digital photography.
