Before my IPhone, I used to have a Samsung during high school. I took a look at the photo album for the first time after I got my new phone and was surprised to see all my photos from back then were saved. They were of my home town and a wave of nostalgia washed over me.

Looking at the videos and photos, I remembered how I tried to surround myself with music all the time. I took an orchestra class for all 4 years of high school, and spent my hours after school in the marching/concert band. I’d also spend hours upon hours learning guitar songs so that I could show off to my friends on Instagram.

There were also a bunch of pictures of my closest, childhood friends. Some I’ve haven’t spoken to for many years. I miss being able to see them nearly everyday. It’s all too bittersweet.
