The woman seemed determined to destroy her child's happiness. Her daughter was happily playing with a car machine toy at my local shopping centre. The girl called her mum to share the joy. The mum’s instant reaction was to pull out her phone to capture the moment. But as soon as the child saw the phone, her face dropped and she lost all joy as she needed to pose/look right for a picture.
"A picture might show you a time in place but will never tell the story. Your memories do that and that’s where the joy comes from." Beautiful closing line Mak.
Mak, - a great perspective and well written!
Really liked this look at present moment vs capturing for the future - well written piece Mak!
