I love to record every memory of mine through various sources.

I take pictures of moments that I want to last forever; a random coffee date with a friend, a beautiful sunset I saw on the way home, the smiles of my beloved people, a cramming moment at school, or even just the flowers I saw at the street.

I make it a point to journal every night, capturing the essence of each moment in my day. From shedding tears during math class to the glow of my boyfriend’s compliments. Every little detail is carefully documented.

I wanted every moment to be sealed.

I want to look back at those moments with gratitude knowing full well that I lived through it.

I think my biggest fear is forgetting.

I wish I could relive a moment of my life; I wish I could return to a time that I wanted to last forever.

But here I lie on my satin bed, trying to remember every joyful moment in my life to forget all the sorrowful things right now.

As I scroll through my gallery and read my journal entries, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with joy. I’ve come to realize how blessed I am to have those incredible people in my life and to have experienced those precious moments.

I will try hard to remember it all. I will grasp it and hold it in my heart forever.
