Meghan | MEMORY FROM 1991

The Story Of My Life

LOCATION: Livermore, CA , Livermore

YEAR: 1991

TAGS: Livermore High School

PUBLISHED: February 12, 2008

Someday I'm going to be a famous writer. I'm going to write the story of my life and each chapter of my life will be named after a song. When I get to the chapter about high school it will be called, Photograph.

From the very first time I  heard Nickelback's tribute to teenage nostalgia, I've considered it to be my theme song. Whenever I hear it, pictures of my entire four years at Livermore High weave in and out of my mind like a music video. It's funny, at the time I was so caught up in the drama and angst of being a teenager that I rarely ever enjoyed those golden moments for what they were.

Today, a 30 year old wife and mother of two, I look back on those days with such pure love and joy. Even the parts that weren't so good. I cherish those memories more than I ever thought I would at the time. Sometimes when I'm having a busy or a rough day, I'll hear Photograph, and I'll wrap myself in those sweet memories. I always feel rejuvenated afterwards.

Photograph reminds me of where I came from, and who I am. I mean, who I truly am at the end of the day. It's one of those songs that I hold precious in my heart because it captures such cherished time of my life, and it always brings a smile to my face.
