Insert random 5:30am thoughts.

In a half sleep/half awake state of mind I couldn’t help but dream/consistently think about the consistency of my hair when its not straightened.  The more I started to wake up the dream/thoughts escalated oddly from the random thoughts of my hair consistency to the feeling of the mattress I slept on in the ‘via mare’ in 2006 while traveling through Italia with my Italian 4H class.  I remember thinking [at the time] that, that particular mattress of all the mattresses I had slept on thus far, this one (on this random overnight boat ride) happened to be the most comfortable.  As I lay here in this odd state of mind I started to realize that although I can remember that at that time I felt it was the most comfortable mattress I can’t remember the actual feeling of the mattress. So once again, the thoughts escalated… There are so many things that occur in your lifetime that you wish so deeply that you could remember the little details of, but time goes on and new events occur and the memories slowly fade to the back of your mind.  If it weren’t for photographs we would forget even more little details in life.  I am so very happy that I have chosen photography as my path in life, I am granted the ability to single-handedly help a person remember the most precious memory in their life.
