a nice thing about 'till death do us part' relationships would be the pictures, the couple gets to keep them for posterity.

no one leaves photographs behind and no one gets dumped with them. no one imposes their memories on another person. no one gets to discard their connection to their past. nobody throws away memories. no one goes numb.

i have not been blessed enough, i've turned out to be the sort of person who has to remember photographs, someone who have memories of pictures that once were but now are not.

the good thing about photographs is they aid us in remembering our past but the sad thing about them is that they serve us other people's window to our past and yes, impose our memories on them (especially if it's about past love or new love). and by so doing, you both tend to be tied to a past that must be left behind in order for both of you to move on.

throwing away photographs does not necessarily mean throwing away memories. nobody can take away your memories from you, nobody can change the person that you have become just because you do not have photographs. it does not make you less of a person you are now. absence of photographs does not mean certain things did not happen. (to be continued...)

still memories thats what photographs are! it is there to remind us of the people and events that we've meet along the ways we have taken. somehow as we sneak on those pictures we could reminisce the time we had with those people, the experiences and lessons learned whther it may be bad or good. photographs can tell us millions of things! this man made piece of developed paper has its own magical ways to make us realize things or feelings we never knew before!

not all pictures should be kept. when you live with your partner it's not good to keep pictures of your past girlfriends or boyfriends at home and reminisce about the good times you had with them. that can be insulting to your partner. if you really learned from your past experiences or relationships you don't need their pictures to be reminded of those lessons.
