Scenes

The Day After the Holiday, I Crop the Family Photo Again — Some nights, whenever I open a family photo, I find myself looking for my zodiac sign first. I start wanting to leave the meaning of that day to a single photo.
I start looking for meaning before I look at the photo — Instead of remembering who said what, I look up what my zodiac sign says about my luck with people. Only then do I look again at my expression in the photo.
My thumb moves between the photo and the horoscope — I zoom the photo in and out, then switch to the zodiac horoscope. A single moment with someone looking down stays with me longer than the moment when the family was laughing.
Your zodiac sign does not decide what the photo means — Looking at a zodiac sign can help you reflect on a person’s timing and energy. But when you leave the meaning of a moment to it, the words actually exchanged disappear.
Write down just one line beside the photo — Without looking at the photo again, write down just one line you actually heard that day. There is still time to interpret it afterward.
One photo is not the whole story — If old hurt has become layered over the photo, start by looking more closely at the words exchanged then. What words came to mind before you looked at your zodiac sign?
