Photo Bomb

Like many other days in my life, I found myself overcome with both stress and boredom. (yes, I was procrastinating, mind ya business lol) I decided that I didn’t want to just float from app to app on my handy dandy phone, so I did the next best thing. I scrolled through my camera roll.

I hope you all can relate when I say my camera roll is full of not only pointless videos and memes, but also screenshots and countless backyard photoshoots. I constantly get notifications about the lack of space I have. But, I simply refuse to scavenge through my camera roll and delete the things I KNOW I don’t need. Enough about me being too lazy to scroll and delete, aren’t you guys interested in what I found???

Well, when I first opened my photos app the first thing I saw was a few saved TikTok videos. (please, don’t ask.) Next, I found random screenshots that would probably come in very handy someday. The likeliness of me ever using those screenshots is still pretty low considering how pointless the conversations were. If I continue to scroll I then find even more pointless memes and videos. (I swear, I actually take pictures, friends)

Now, here comes the cute stuff. I continued to scroll for what felt like ages before I actually see pictures. The first picture I see is simply me doing one of my infamous backyard photoshoots. As I continue to scroll, memories of this summer come flooding back in. Due to Covid-19, I couldn’t really have a “proper” summer vacation, but I still enjoyed it to say the least.

When the summertime pictures came along, I knew that I was nearing the end of my camera roll adventures. I upgraded my phone during the summer of this year. My very first picture is a backyard photo of me and my youngest brother. (AWWW!!)

I experienced many different emotions scrolling through my camera roll today. It was a journey to say the least. I saw with my own two eyes my confidence increase while my sense of humor continues on its own downward spiral. At least I have my camera roll to look on. It’s nice and interesting.
