It was in an electronics store, and you were just waiting there, shining in the showroom window. I felt like you were waving your hand towards me, inviting me to take your hand. For a moment, I hesitated, since I wasn’t sure of you. I didn’t know if you were the one that would suit me, but my instincts told me “go for it.”
To tell you the truth, the thing I was trying to find wasn’t you. I wanted something skinnier, prettier that worked faster. I wanted something that was new and nice. But you hooked me and wouldn’t let my thoughts fall away from you. Do you think that I regret that decision? No way! I still like you and I never regretted the decision I made on that day. In fact, I feel proud of myself that I chose you and not something else. Come to think of it, the other cameras don’t have your humane characteristics, and compared to you it’s as if they are cold blooded. They don’t make the beautiful mistakes that you sometimes do, and they erase their memories too easily. Memories should be kept, even if they aren’t always pretty. They should be held on to, no matter what. If no one examines them, new digital cameras just quickly disappear and fade after a few months. But not you. You are always there.
After purchasing you, you were always with me wherever I went. You were always there when I was sad, when I was disappointed, when I was happy, and when I was excited. I was never alone because you were always there with me, and we could leave plenty of memories to look back on later, because I was with you and not alone. Even though you are big I like you. Even though you are not fancy and act in an old fashioned way. I like you. Even though, you might attract people’s attention because of your awkward looks, I accepted you. That’s why I keep you with me everywhere I go. That’s why I show you to my friends, and make memories through you. That’s why I always buy something to decorate you.
Sometimes it is hard to wait for you to make colorful memories for me. However, every time I take even thou I might be impatient to wait for you to make beautiful memory, I am always excited as colors show up one by one. At first the colors are scarcely shown on the paper. However, as time goes the colors are shown brighter and more clearly. I think that my memories are exactly the same. At the time, I don’t know that it would be a memorable moment that I would remember later. But as time passes by, for me, I remember special days more and more clearly. Just like you. You take time forming these remarkable photos, and it is very exciting to watch you making it. It is a wondering for me how these memories get left on me like footprints. If the weather is cold, you wouldn't make a lovely photo. The colors would turn out gloomy just like the weather. If I have a bad experience that I don’t want to remember, I would feel blue just like the photo I took on a gloomy day. You and I are similar.
I know that sometimes you are left alone in the closet instead of being taken with me to new places. You might not have liked being left, since you are not used to it. You might also feel depressed and sad, and maybe even feel that nobody wants you. However, I just want you to know that you are my best friend, and I will be always there, like you are always there for me. You are my best friend, and I want to thank you for helping me keep my cherished memories alive all this time. I hope that you feel the same with me, and once again we can share indelible memories together.
Yours Sincerely, Ann Lee
