can’t let go of something?
take a picture.
i’m serious. it’ll last forever.
this is – provided that you don’t loose your hard drive or delete everything by accident.
it was my mother who got me onto this idea a long time ago.
my brother and i would have projects from school that she wanted to remember but clearly had no room to keep them all.
and so, she’d set them up on an even backdrop, say on the table or outdoors on the walkway and she’d take a picture.
and then…
she’d throw that shit out.
because really, there is no reason to keep all of that stuff.
the memories are in the photographs.
like my wedding bouquet (flowers from a lady at the local farmers’ market) which even though i did hang to dry, i decided not to keep. less is probably more.
