I love recording memories and experiences. I take photos, keep journals, and blog. I use Instagram primarily as a visual diary of my life.
One of my favourite ways of recording life is 1 Second Everyday. It’s a free phone app which allows you to record short daily videos and compile them into a movie at the end of the year. The daily practice sometimes feel silly and it’s hard to keep motivated to take videos during the mundane weeks of the year; but every December, I am astonished at the final result.
Below are my 8 minutes of 2021. What a ride! Even the humdrum moments at work or in the kitchen I recorded are now a cherished memory — a quick insight into a slice of life of my past self.
I plan to keep taking videos in 2022.
