My Little Project Today
Woke up this morning with that heavy feeling, you know? That specific kind of quiet ache. Called it “miss you heaven” in my head, just a phrase that popped up. Didn’t want to just sit with it, felt like I needed to channel it somehow, make something tangible, even if just for myself.
So, I decided I’d try and put together a small digital memory thing. Nothing complicated, just a little something.
First Steps
- Fired up the old computer. Took a while to boot, as usual.
- Started digging through my digital photo folders. Man, there are a lot of them now.
- Looking for a specific kind of picture, one that felt right for the mood. Found one eventually, a simple landscape shot from a trip years ago. Had the right quiet vibe.
Putting it Together
Okay, got the picture. Now what? Didn’t want to use any fancy software. Too much hassle. Just wanted simple.
Opened up a basic text editor – the one that comes with everything. Plain white screen.
Typed out a few lines. Wasn’t trying to be a poet or anything. Just words about the feeling, about remembering. Kept it short. Real short. Used a key phrase from my thoughts earlier, just to anchor it.
Then, I figured out how to put the picture and the text together. I actually just opened a simple document program, like WordPad or something similar. Dropped the picture in. Centered it. Typed the text underneath it. Played with the font size a tiny bit until it looked okay, not too big, not too small.
Finishing Up
And that was kind of it. I looked at it on the screen for a bit. Simple picture, few lines of text. Called the file something simple too, just so I’d know what it was.
Saved it directly onto my desktop. Not putting it online or anything. It’s not for anyone else. Just for me. A small way to mark the feeling, give it a little space. Felt a bit lighter afterwards. Job done, I guess. Just a small moment, but it felt necessary today.
