i was at the airport today to pick my parents up from their trip

whilst i was waiting i saw an older couple standing with anticipation

the arrival doors opened and a woman arrived with her huge case

it was their daughter 

she looked around 25/26ish 

they opened their arms to embrace her

and she immediately whipped out her phone to film content

getting 0.5 selfie video of her hugging her mum then her dad 

it wasnt even a proper hug cos her phone was up in the air getting the right angle

they wanted a hug she wanted content

its a cold world out here

hi im naomi i’m an athlete and creator!

Omooo, content has replaced connection these days Did the parents look confused or were they secretly proud she was ‘going viral’ in the moment?

facts!! no her parents looked really sad they were so excited to see her and they didnt really smile for her video

Trueee, sometimes the best memories don’t fit in a frame. Hopefully next time she just drops the phone and soaks it all in 🥰

ooooft an extra in your reunion thats a powerful way to put it 

it was really clear they looked sad i hope she realises too 

i think its a good point of reflection to live in the moment

Ahh that’s actually so sad Imagine waiting all that time just to feel like an extra in your own reunion. Do you think she’ll watch the video later and realise how off it looked? Was it clear
