I hate photographs
Not because I’m camera shy
Or because I think I look bad
No.
It’s because I feel people are always trying to use them to capture something
Something that isn’t there
Not to stay at least
Joy
Laughter
Freedom
People think that by framing this moment
It’ll last eternity
They think they can preserve those emotions forever
But they can’t
Feelings are fleeting
Fluid, ever-changing
And photographs can’t capture that
And like water in cupped hands
They’ll slip away
