over the course of two nights, i have finally clear my iPhone/iCloud of the thousand of pics i had in it! and by clearing it means, downloading them into my Mac, per hundreds at a time, and then retransferring them to a thumb drive for safekeeping.
quite a number of steps to do it but it’s worth it. satisfaction!
i get to arrange them in folders accordingly and along the way, going through them one by one, reminisce here and there, had a smile and appreciating the moments before tucking them away for the next few months…or rather… the many intents on wanting to print them out and put in some physical album traditional way.
for a person who claimed that i don’t take many pictures because i prefer to lock the memories in my brain and feel the moment of that particular time, i do have a lot to remember.
alhamdulillah for a good life.
i think i can do this yearly, took photos and do a ‘review’ end year rearrange the photos into albums. and clear some space in my phone for new captured moments. nodding to myself. like opening a new door and be surprised by the breathtakingly beautiful view on the other side. its quite a therapeutic exercise. probably the decluttering phase people always have start of the year.
ps: the title this post came up because a song with the same title came up from my iTunes (as always on shuffle, and some genius good song comes up just at the right time, bewitched i think). i like the song because of…. guessed it… our boy Park Seo Joon. π
