The roll I didn't shoot is the one I keep thinking about

Went through an old wedding folder tonight and found myself lingering on the frames that almost didn't happen — the blurry ones, the backs of heads, the moments I barely registered through the viewfinder. I've spent years training myself to catch everything, but the unshot pictures are honest in a way the delivered ones never are. Been dreaming lately of empty cameras and waking up relieved, not guilty, which feels like a shift I should probably pay attention to.
