A Selfie – What Represents this Time Period

A Selfie – What Represents this Time Period

A “selfie” is the latest craze word you hear everywhere thanks to cell phones enabling a special camera to take a self picture and then post it to social media to share with friends and family, instantly. A selfie is exactly what you would want to put in a time capsule, especially to represent this time period in our lives, for future generations to know what life was like when we were alive. A selfie is the ultimate time capsule. A selfie is a way of expressing emotion, that you may not have words for, similar to other fun or important photos taken in our lives.

A selfie takes photography and Yourself to a whole new level.

We all need and want to be heard, noticed, and matter in life. We are all unique, precious, and gifted individuals. Who are you? What do you like? How do you spend your time? What are your favorite places to go, things to do, or clothes to wear? What is your favorite meal? Who are your best friends? Do you really watch how you are changing and growing as a person? What important lessons have you learned? When we do not share this information with our family, friends, children, grandchildren, we are neglecting or cheating our ancestors from knowing us.

Everyone has a part in shaping the world we live in, and the direction our children will go. Be selfish and take note of who you are. Take a selfie each year, as you grow in life. Tell a story about yourself each year. Write a “Message to the Future” letter to your children now, about where you see them years from now. Your children will thank you for investing yourself and time into this milestone moment letter they will read, years later in their life.

Life is a Journey

Most people want to see progress in their lives. This is why a time capsule is important. A selfie is just one item (or several items, depending on how many selfies you take), to show this personal progress. There is no need to be famous, or to become famous before taking a selfie. A selfie helps you feel famous. You are famous to someone in your life. Please remember this. You are valuable to someone. You may not feel like it some days, but your children will definitely thank you years later, and think you are famous.

So go ahead, take that selfie. Put it in a time capsule. Get ready to open it years later and have a few laughs with your children. You could even save your selfie as a new mother and father with your baby, then take an end selfie when your child graduates high-school. What differences will you see in your before and after photos of yourselves. Then, put your photos as parents of your child, in a Baby Time Capsule, along with other memorabilia you preserved, and give it to your grown child now on their Graduation day. What a special moment this will be when he or she opens their own Baby Time Capsule to see what life was like when he or she was born or what you were like as parents.

A selfie. It just may be one of the most important pictures you have ever taken, for yourself or for someone else.

A time capsule. It just may be one of the most important projects you have ever done, for yourself or for someone else.
