For some reason, I sometimes find myself hyper-aware of how ephemoral life is, and I want to capture every little detail of it. And while this can be frustrating and at times depressing, it has taught me the value of places (I walked through an outdoor ghost mall in Qatar yesterday, and I look forward to remembering that forever) and events.

Mostly, it has taught me the value of people. However fleeting and mimor the relationships I've built can be, I try to savor them all.
