Yes, things were taken in 2008. But pictures were taken too. Memories were held. Small joys were captured.
So here’s to 2008. The year I learned that even when life takes from you, you can still take the shot. taken 2008
I see a friend’s living room floor where I crashed for three months. I see a birthday cake made from a box mix. I see late nights laughing because rent was late but we were young enough not to panic. Yes, things were taken in 2008

A job I loved? Taken. An apartment I couldn’t afford anymore? Gone. A version of myself that believed in a certain kind of future? Disappeared into the financial crash like everyone else’s 401(k). Small joys were captured
