I think it's time to get this developed.

I've been hanging onto this roll of film for several months now. This was the roll in the camera through the months of September, October, and November. A few months ago I posted about this roll and how I was probably going to hang onto it for a while.

I'm sure there's not really anything terribly important or impressive on it, but it was the roll I was working on when Mom passed in September. I just haven't had the will to have it processed until now. It sat on a shelf with many things of Mom's I had sitting on the same shelf. I don't even remember what images I took.

Maybe this is something I need to get back into. I've been in such a damn slump for forever now. Maybe it's just time. Maybe it'll help me move on.

And maybe there will be a picture on it that will be important to you in your life because of the roll's history ...

It's definitely the time to do it.

I remember the time when my mom passed right as I was getting ready to graduate from elementary school. Having my dad pass away a year prior, this left me feeling empty. What came next was me adjusting to a life living with my older brother and traversing middle school as someone who wanted to stay isolated.

After not feeling motivated and getting lower grades in courses I should've excelled in, I was sent to a counselor who made me realize, my parents wouldn't want me at this standstill.

From then on I surely took a step forward and started to do more and reach out more. Sure at first I didn't feel like it was for myself, but for my departed parents to make them proud still as if they were . But I decided to gain more accomplishments in high school like joining clubs and getting accepted in my first college pick.

Now as I'm about to graduate, I decided to move forward for myself and I feel much happier for it. I'm sure you'll feel the same way.

Actually what you can do is take a picture of any thing on that day, even one of yourself and label the roll new start, so whenever you're at a standstill you have a reminder to never stay still again.

I know this problem! Worse in my case, I have so many analog cameras that I do not always remember the type of films in it ahahahaha
