I'm sure there's a lesson for me in this
Apr. 8th, 2023 08:01 amThere's a setting in apple phones now to have it shuffle the wallpaper picture through your own photos, which is A++ great, and also means I have the following reactions on repeat throughout the day:
*where is that
*I love it
*I would like to go there
Which I guess sounds obvious, but in the moment when I am taking pictures, my reactions are usually more like:
*am I really taking a picture of this path again I have already taken it so many times
*all of these pictures are basically the same and all of them are boring
*I am physically uncomfortable in some way (hot / cold / bugs biting me / feet hurt / etc)
So it has been somewhat of a revelation for me to see a picture pop up in my wallpaper with absolutely no context and just feel absolutely delighted by it. Wow! Where is that? I don't know, but I've been there, that's so cool! I love it, I'm so glad I took a picture of that path! I would like to go there again, I am experiencing joy in remembering it!
