Last weekend when I was at my parents, I found a whole box of old photos from when I was just a little boy till when I was about 20, which was when I moved into my first apartment. This box has been sitting with my parents since then and I had totally forgotten about it. Talk about walking down memory lane...
Friends/girlfriends that have come and gone, different places I've travelled or lived, old pets etc, etc...
Looking back I was especially nostalgic about the images from when I was 15. I was living in Australia at the time and through these pictures I began to remember what a special time in ones life it is when you're around 15. It really is when one at least starts to think that one is becoming a man. Relationships evolve into being more serious, alcohol gets introduced into the picture, staying out all night with friends, school gets tougher academically, one begins to be able to challenge adults for real at different sports.
In general it really is the time when one starts to transgress into what eventually will become adult life...
Happily I can in hind sight conclude that I have been lucky and that it was a great time of fantastic memories for me. These pictures of many different sorts allowed me to more concretely bring up to the surface this long lost part of my life after all this time...
