Hey everyone! How many of you actually live the moment you enjoying instead of just clicking and capturing them in you phone's gallery or in your camera. I am sure rare of you do the same, even I was also one of you until I realised it.

People around me click pictures, and take videos, trying to capture moments, trying to save something to be able to look at later and remember how they felt in that particular moment and how that moment made them feel. But do you ever go back to something you only partially lived because you were too busy trying to capture it?

When you go to a concert to enjoy the performance, but all you do is record it to watch it again through your screen. How is that different from actually watching them on screen? Where is the rush, where is the passion, where is the joy, in the end, the video is just a proof and nothing but noise. Isn't you feel the same?

Your child takes first step or first dip in the ocean, but instead of holding his hand, you are holding the phone or camera to record the moment. Where is the thrill you feel as his hand holds on to yours just a little tighter before letting go, as he finds his independence and laughs when the water hits his face? 

There are things and memories and bonds that cannot be replicated with photos and videoes with the exchange of stories, the jokes, the vibes that you feel when you are absolutely in the moment with your friends and family. Sure you might be able to go back and remember something about that night but actually you didn't really live the night, you were not completely there, and that's why it's been a while since I picked up my phone to take a picture or video. It's been a while since I have captured anything. Because now I have realised that living and vibing the moment brings much more joy and happiness than just capturing it in your phone or camera. 

This could be just how I feel I completely miss the small things happening around me because even as I am capturing, I am missing looking at them through my own eyes, living them with my own mind and heart, and somehow that just means more to me as I grow. So I disconnect, because making memories and bonds matter more to me then just capturing pictures and videos.
