and think of better times or the wishing of, should have, could have, would have?
I was looking back at a picture of me from 1980, brain and body were in pretty good shape and I wasted it. I was mentally ill back then and drank a lot, what a waste though.
don’t beat yourself up @Mountainman the past is the past…it belongs behind us…
I carry a picture i d on my diving card and I am about 33 in the picture…I was in really good shape back then…
I don’t look at my photo albums very much. Because they are all wall to wall pictures of my son, who died six and a half years ago, from suicide. I don’t want to be reminded.
old pic’s are great I was luck my folks toke lots of them, but what good are they now. except to see my grand kids or my x’s . family far away or to remind me of glory days .
I look at pictures from before i got ill and had the crazy weight gain from the meds. It makes me hate how gross I am now, but it also gives me something to work toward when I can start exercising.
I keep a picture of my first girlfriend and myself.
I was in my early 20’s in the photo, in the service and very healthy.
I try hard not to dwell on the past/or what could’ve been. I keep the photo more as a keepsake for a woman I’ll always love and care about.
