/ˌdäkyəˈment(ə)rē/
(adjective) a narrative style presenting a straightforward record of important moments. · (adjective) based on or re-creating an actual event, era, life story, etc., containing no fictional elements. · (noun) a photograph of real people involved in real events.
in between all those moments you try to remember are the ones you didn’t even think about trying to save. the daily routines and the quiet mornings. dull afternoons. entire unremarkable weeks and months. but one day, all the years, all the minutes will melt together. the special occasions, the milestones, all those once-in-a-lifetimes… and the little things.
the dirty feet, skinned knees, sticky fingers. unfolded laundry. unwashed dishes. sunburns and extra belly rolls, and parking tickets. that one fucking hair on your chin that you have to pluck once a month. morning coffee. bedtime stories. mowing the lawn. walking the dog. all of those routine, everyday minutes - they built your entire, beautiful life. you deserve to remember them.
