YA

In 2017, I received some photos from a friend and tried to remember those days and that period in more detail — but I couldn’t. I clearly understood that only a year had passed, yet the person in those photos was a different version of me, with a different worldview. Those changes — and everything that happened around me — had gone by almost unnoticed. After that, I tried several times to keep a journal using notes apps, but it never worked. A few days in, you get tired of the process and its lack of structure. And yet, it’s incredibly powerful to read about a specific day from three years ago and remember it fully. In moments like that, time feels stretched. So much has happened during that time — both in our own lives and in the world.
