Personal Epiphany

When I was a kid, I loved to collect things. I had collections of everything including but not limited to bottlecaps, stamps (yup I’m a nerd :-), rocks, coins, rubberbands etc. There was something about the idea of accumulating things that I guess was appealing to me. I used to hold them close like they were valuable treasures. Each item had its own totally unique story. And there was this part of me that felt obligated to keep watch over them. I was thinking about this the other day. And as I sat their laughing at myself and thinking about how I grew out of that stage, it struck me…I’M STILL IN THAT STAGE! In fact, it was never a stage at all! That’s just who I am, I love collecting things, but now I just collect memories in the form of pictures. Instead of bottlecaps and coins, my treasures have taken the form of digital one-of-a-kind images. Moments that would have been lost in the passing of time, are now captured and stored in my personal collection. I love it! Hmmm…
