Life is filled with so many moments, but there are some memories people will want to keep for a lifetime. Such special memories evoke strong emotions and convictions, often serving as sources of joy or motivation or reference point of a moment in people’s lives. This article will discuss how to make those memories last a lifetime.
Pictures and frames
With smartphones in abundance, people can capture any moment of their lives by clicking the shutter button. But often, these beautiful moments remain in their phone gallery, and they soon forget about them. There are standout moments, however, that you cannot just allow to fade. The best way to make such memories last a lifetime is by framing them and placing them in prominent places. If you’re looking for unique and affordable frames, your best bet will be to do a Google search such as ‘frame my pictures’ and you’ll have a wide selection to choose from. Pick a frame that best suits the picture, your personality and your home decor.
Keep a journal
Not all memories are in pictures, and certain things are better captured in words. For this reason, keeping a journal is a great idea. This may be your regular diary where you pen down the day’s happenings, or you can have a “happy” diary where you keep a note of all the beautiful things that happen in your life. This way, whenever you open your journal, you can relive all those beautiful moments through the words you wrote down.
Social media
This is a creative way of chronicling and putting together memories. Most people already do this unknowingly, as they update their social media with all or most of the things they are up to. Facebook and Instagram, in particular, are two platforms that you can really make use of. Facebook has a feature known as memories, where you are shown images or posts that you made on a particular day over the years. This is just great.
Videos
Home videos are a great way to keep memories, which is excellent but not in vogue anymore. You can take awesome videos with your phone for events and occasions and replay them. Creating curated video content using video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro is really the next step. You can incorporate photos, sounds, and video clips to create an exceptional memory and save it. You could also copy it to an external drive or pen drive and watch it at your convenience or even share it with friends and family.
Cloud storage
Often, some memories take up quite a lot of space on our storage devices. To free up some space, you can save photos and videos to the cloud. Not only do you free up space to create more memories, but you also ensure that those memories saved to the cloud are safe for perpetuity. Items saved to the cloud cannot be damaged, and you can also share access to others who can either view or add more items to be saved. There are several options with cloud storage services, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive and others.
