Was life always this beautiful.

I stopped to talk to you on a park bench.
The weather was beautiful. the birds, the trees, the wind. it was a moment of peace inside the rushing life we live in.

I took my phone to take a photo of it. genuinely, as I would have.
But I have not done this in a while.

I did not feel motivated to take any picture since the end of 2024.

There are many things I do because of people.
Like taking photos. like feeling childish when I am around my family.

Taking photos was always a sign of how happy I am.
Because I take photos only when I am happy. when I am guarded by people whose smiles and moments I want to keep captured.

Today, no one was around.

But someone from the other part of the world was there.
Their warmth arrived across the sea, making me someone who is happy.

To the point that I subconsciously started taking photos.

I started to see life as beautiful again.
And now, I take photos.
