SMOL PHOTOALBUM

SMOL HUMANS’ PHOTO ALBUM

••• Photographs taken a decade (or more) ago with captions from their current selves.

COMPILED BY NOURA @NOURAREADS

“There’s so much about our past that we don’t remember, so many days are lost because we aren’t able to carry them all.

And yes most of them are probably mundane but I can’t let go of the thought that if we don’t remember them, then did they really exist? Especially during our younger years.

I didn’t know where to find the answer aside from pictures.

So here’s an effort to collect forgotten memories, a curated museum that proves we existed. Bad fashion choices and all.”
