YES! THIS!

I have always been the one of my friend groups to take photos & videos of random times together & always got endless amounts of shit for it since the early 2000s.

Now in the 2020s all those same friends are VERY appreciative of the fact that I have all these photos and videos of us from decades past

I’d rather people respect other’s boundaries, and work to find a compromise. If somebody really doesn’t want their picture taken, find a way to take pictures that respects their boundaries. Maybe have a picture of just them on their birthday, as a memory. Maybe they just don’t like the attention of pictures, but they’ll let you do a nonintrusive video.

Maybe, people will just have to find other, more appropriate, ways of memorializing someone, such as writing down the positive memories people have of them,

Yeah, it's entitled to have boundaries. Meanwhile, thinking you're entitled to pictures of someone else against their wishes is definitely not entitled at all, yeah? Everyone knows that blatant double standards are not entitlement at all.

So it's having a picture moment period. Like if someone randomly takes a pic of me, I usually don't care. But when someone is like "OMG let's stop everything so we can take a picture" it annoys me. Not too bad but kinda gets on my nerves

Lots of ppl saying they’ll just go to bed without brushing. My guess is you haven’t been a financially struggling human and had to pay for lots of dental work out of pocket. Not to mention the pain and inconvenience of the procedures and healing. Paying a lot of money to have a healthy functioning mouth puts things in perspective sometimes. Anyway, I also do this to prevent myself from snacking. Hope others can be if it from the tip.

My dad is currently dying from congestive heart failure. We never had a great relationship, but he’s been trying to repair it for the past couple years since his health has been declining, so we haven’t gotten there completely yet but it’s been better, and I’ve noticed his efforts.

With this disease you end up with ups and downs. Initially he was only given a few months, but it’s been a couple years now.

He’s at the point though where he has multiple organ failures and is likely going to be gone soon.

I was realizing how few pictures we have of him, or of our family together. Kind of upsets me knowing we don’t have much.
