Not My Memories

February 3, 2020

I was looking through Pinterest, like I often do, and happened upon a collection of pins that are related to summer. I have never been super in love with the summer months other than the fact that I was not at school, but these images made me feel. So much so, that I made a board based around this feeling.

These images tugged my heartstrings in that they felt like a memory. They felt like they transported me back to a time and place in my past, but the thing is, those weren’t my memories.

Growing up we didn’t have a lake house or go to the pool every day. I didn’t have big slumber parties every weekend or watch movies on a sheet in my backyard, yet these images made me feel like I had. These memories weren’t mine, but they made me wish they had been.
