Aspiration: the hope or dream to achieve something
There are billions of people in this world some living better than others. Those billions of people give us little room but just enough in this world. Enough room to laugh, smile, cry, scream, smell the roses or run past them. Just enough room to choose to live or exist.
With the time and room we have we choose inspirations. We have aspirations. Many people choose big role models who seem to do nothing wrong. I don't.
I aspire to be a piece of almost everyone I know. One person is my aunt, a great photographer who has made mistakes even if she almost never lets it affect her bubbly personality. I don't think she knows why she does photography, maybe I don't know either but I'll take a shot.
Based off my aunt as a person and her skills, she does photography to help her. To allow her to walk through the same roses and this time be able to choose if she can stop and sniff them or run through them. Her pictures are more than just pictures. They are memories, reminders. No matter who or what you've lost you have so much more. So many more people here left to help.
No matter what she's gone through she goes through those pictures. Sadness, happiness, anything and everything can be engraved in those pictures. Memories never to be forgotten. Maybe they were buried under time but these pictures dig them out.
She sees them as a reminder to help. To smile and laugh and cry and smell the roses because eventually you won't be able to anymore.
I'm glad I have a photographer as an aunt. I'm glad she won't let go of the past because letting go of the past is the worst way to live in the present.
"This too shall pass" and if you know that then memories are the best thing on earth no matter what they have hidden under secrets and time.
Aspiration: the hope or dream to achieve something
There are billions of people in this world. It's easy to look over the ones that smile at you on the road or the ones that share amazing pictures. I never will because I know these people are choosing to live not just exist. They are choosing to help. And if you don't aspire to be that then you are wishing to be the wrong thing.
