# 1

Thought that having 'Life Exercise' posts would help me reflect on life and treasure it more. This first exercise would be a topic that my nigga- Rishon and I discussed earlier today as we were talking over dinner.

#1. If you could be anything, what would you be?

I would be a photograph, not a digital one but one generated from a film camera. Why out of everything, not a living thing but a non-living everyday item that is sometimes under appreciated? A photo captured from a film camera might not be perfect nor can it be deleted but it shows a true moment that has happened even if things has changed since then. It is a source of remembrance for others and hopefully evokes nostalgia and a kind of bittersweet happiness. Things may change but that 'moment' will forever remain captured on film. Rishon said she would want to be a pencil, those traditional yellow and black striped 2B pencil because she could see what people would use it for and how they expressed themselves.
