Flashback

Let's take a moment to remember what we were doing just a couple of months back—even though it sure feels like an entire lifetime ago. As we scroll through our camera roll, all the way back to our last "normal" photo, pre-quarantine, we realize how different our lives are now compared to that snapshot. Whether that photo is a selfie you sent to a friend to show that you were "on your way!", or a photo of your last meal out, or even a photo of a party you attended, we want to see what your last moment of normalcy looked like. Tell us about this photo, and what you were doing, who you were with, and how it makes you feel now.

This week is all about that flashback moment that makes you smile. Enter this week's Challenge and join us in reliving the good times—a little reminder that this too shall pass.

Tips

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: when it comes to media, the more the merrier! Share that last normal photo but definitely don't hold back on adding any other images that remind you of that moment. You're also welcome to include a playlist that takes you back to the time when the photo was taken, or anything else that you think will give us a better understanding of what was going on.
