Captured Emotions

          This picture paints a smile on my face. This picture probably is my first picture. I can’t stop staring at my image. A little baby carried by my mother with my older brothers. I delight at how I look like my mother when she was still her age at this time when the picture was taken. I can imagine how I am loved at this moment, being the first baby girl in the family. I wished my father is in this picture. I remember my childhood years.  I remember happy times. Loud laughters and big smiles.  When the things that could make us cry  aren’t piercing our hearts. At the same time, the picture makes me feel excited of motherhood. At my age now, I really look forward to being a mother someday. I am always fond of babies and the thought of having one of my own, with the man I love is a very pleasant thought for me.  Most importantly, I am thankful that God had given me an opportunity to live. And at this moment, I am thankful that he has given me the chance to feel how much I am loved.. by just looking at the picture.

#Prompt: A picture is worth more than a blank page. Take out an old album. Pick out photo #15. Look at the photo for 2 minutes then for 10 minutes, write all the feelings the photo makes you feel. DON’T CENSOR YOURSELF. JUST WRITE.
