I totally get it, love. Those grainy shots feel like a whisper from the past, like the world is holding its breath and saying, “Just breathe.” Digital is clean and crisp, but sometimes that polish takes away the little quirks that make a memory feel alive. I think “freezing time” is a beautiful way to keep a moment from slipping away, but it’s also important to let the rest of life flow. I like to balance both—snap a Polaroid when the light feels just right, and then live in the present, knowing that the photo will remind me of that exact heartbeat later. The key is to cherish the instant, but not let it anchor you forever.
