Going through old photos
Anyone else do this? Does it bring back any memories whether good or bad?
|
Oh gosh, I do this so often. It's mostly nostalgic for me, I don't really keep pictures which stir up bad memories. Typically around new years eve, I like to go back and look at all the photos I took during the year. I absolutely love to take photographs, though I can kind of be a bother when I ask to take one ;w;
|
Well, we have a lot of old photo albums, but I don't look through them all that much. They're from a time where I was all pudgy and squidgy, and I don't really remember any of the moments captured in them...or I remember bits and pieces, but they're all cobbled together in a mess so I can't really tell which moment is which. Mother keeps all her more recent pictures on her laptop, and there is a pretty big gap in my life where I have no photos whatsoever, because I used to loathe having my photo taken. It's hard for me to believe I was ever that young anyway, haha.
|
I do that sometimes and I tend to remember most of the moments the pictures were taken from. Sometimes I get embarrassed how weird of a kid I am on some of the much older photos, haha. Other times I get very sad. Some days ago I recently found a photo I took with two former high school friends of mine , but both of them passed away. =<
|
I dig through old school photos and troll people with them. Sometimes I will also decide to look at old photos of myself, where I lament at how much longer my hair was before oppressive Catholic school haircuts came into my life.
|
"oh my god i was so skinny"
|
"Good lord I was a fat kid".
"Oh my god my hair was soooo long". "Is that coat hanging on the background in that pic from 8 years ago the same one I wore in my first day to my new job last month? Yes it is". I love hiding old pics of stuff everywhere and just looking at them again years later. I'm so big in finding differences between the past and today. |
I used to be the school photographer during high school for about 2 years, so I have more photos of other people than me xD That means all the "me" photos can be buried away, hidden and forgotten on FB xD
|
Looking back on pretty much anything from the past just generally makes me sad. Good memories are usually reminders of things I don't have anymore. Bad memories are reminders of things I screwed up. Like, don't get me wrong, I cherish mementos of the good times I've had growing up, but it's hard to look at those things when the relationships they represent don't really exist anymore. Even with such a morose outlook on this topic, I can't bring myself to get rid of any mementos, good or bad though. I still take solace in knowing that I've grown as a person because of the things they represent.
|
Looking back at them I am surprised how tiny I was.
|
Photos is rare for me, most of the time my memories pop up is driving through an old town for backroad.
|
I like going through my phone and looking at all of the pictures that I have taken over time. I still have some that I transferred over from my phones I had back in middle school. It's such an amazing but weird feeling.
|
I love looking through photo albums from childhood times, we have loads lying around the house. I was going through some old family and baby photos earlier.
|
I have over 3,000 photos on my phone for this reason alone. I love documenting things that I do so I can look back at all of them en masse and remember specific details about specific nights and get nostalgic. that's also why I screenshot every snapchat someone sends me that I'm in. much to their chagrin, probably. but I Need This.
|
It depends on what sort of pictures they were.
If they were of me. I would hate it as my self-esteem isnt that good. But I do like looking through photos remembering things. |
I literally burned my high school albums because I began to hate the people I was associated with in the pictures. It was a little hard for me to look at, so I had to do it.
I do have some old pictures of when I was a kid that I brought with me to my place in Houston. They do bring back some memories with family members and all, and as always...there is room for more memories here. |
Sometimes I find myself looking through my yearbooks. (Yes, I have kept my yearbooks that go as far back as my elementary school days.)
|
i think i'd rather be waterboarded for days on end than willingly look at old photos of me
|
Oh god. I always cringe when I look at old photos of me. I'm so much happier the way I look now.
