Instaxstillstolife Stories

That one person. Or those friends. Being in the moment of joy and genuine happiness made you forget your anxieties and burdens. That one moment that made you happy. Maybe, remembered through senseless snaps, texts, photos, or maybe remembered by the pictures taken with your eyes, blinking, witnessing, and implanting all the memories and silly moments with that person or those friends into your head... your brain forever remembering them.

PLEASE TAKE TIME AND READ MY INSTAX CONTEST STORY!!! A story about the endless milestones within my unlucky life.

Few people know of him - yet billions of people are alive because of him. The actions of Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, a Soviet military officer, prevented the start of a unsurvivable worldwide nuclear war and the devastation of the entire Earth.

I had only visited the city that never sleeps in daydreams. Never did I believe that I'd be able to see it with my own two eyes and experience it with the beat of my own heart. This is the story of the city that woke me - New York.

The time of my life with my best friend.

About a photo of me and my friend

As I go on thinking about her, I can't help but remember the memories we made. I am going to share them with you today.

I don't think you need to know much about me. I'm just the side character, nothing extremely important I'll live a normal life but the funny thing is people surround themselves with the opposite. The person they desire to be. I seem to not I don't surround myself with anyone but myself

This is my entry for #instaxstillstolife There are times in life, when you don't always feel understood. When your lost and feel alone. When the good times feel like a distant memory. We're only people, who wish to be understood, who feel they need to be more then what they are. The expectations that are placed on them aren't always fair, some will say that's just life. But they gotta know they aren't alone. That the good Times, the good memories, the people beside them are never too far out of reach. When you're down you are the one who has to make a choice to stay down and give up or get up, and fight. The friends that really matter will be there to help pick you up encourage you in the darkest times. They'll be there ready to give you a hand, but they can't know anything until you say something. Everything doesn't have to be terrible, but it doesn't mean those times aren't there but never let the fear take you down, because after every storm there's a rainbow around the corner. Photos are there to show us the good times and remind us that not everything is black and white. There's color to it to.

As I have grown, my father has made sure I always knew one thing. That I was priceless, just like any father think of their daughters. As I also know, it hurts your fathers heart to see you cry, think about yourself poorly. Sometimes for other people it's hard to see that their father loves them so. But I know fathers think their daughters are priceless.

A short memoir that bloomed out of a simple Polaroid image of boots on snow. To be entered in Wattpad contest (instaxStillsToLife).

Once again Alicia and her two best friends were at their favorite restaurant. This time Trish suggests a game that happens to involve a stranger.

The humid breeze of Miami, the sound of laughter and culture, the smell of champagne, and the sight of smiles. These are the senses that were all around me as I spent New Years Eve surrounded by Cuban heritage. It was the start of what would soon end up being the hardest year of my life, but in that moment everything seemed right in the world. This is the story of how a year that started so wonderful turned around after one single click of my polaroid camera.

By the title of this story, you might just be wondering what this has to do with a picture. Well the cover is the picture that this relates to, and the topic mat is my passion. So yeah! I really hope you enjoy.

People always say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but what most fail to realize is that photographs are the gateways to memories. Grandparents are individuals that many never truly get the time to enjoy, something that I came to understand back in a hospital room in the year 2016.
