Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    This is my birth day. My mother had to be taken to a neighboring town to deliver me because I was showing early signs of being a little shit & wasn’t in the right position to be birthed. So long story short, my mom went under, had a c-section & bing badaboom I’m here 22 years later still being a little shit. A slightly bigger little shit though.

    By the way, I love being on the couch too

    I was married on this day at Lake Barryessa just a few miles up from Davis California where I had spent my whole life and where I met my husband.I was 20 years old. We married in secret, the day after I put my little sister on a plane back to Iowa. On that day we wore our holiest jeans and bought all our favorite foods and took Jim’s best friend, who was a mail order ordained minister and had a picnic..
    We planned to have a wedding, but we never did. After being married for 17 years, 3 houses, 6 cars, 3 jobs, 2 hospitalizations, 2 rehabs later, lots of medications, and 3 kids, we split up, even though we were very much in love. It took 12 more years to divorce. I raised the kids in my own home and worked in a school and he lived in a motor home in a park across town. Now we live in different areas about 100 miles away. It’s like pulling teeth.
    I still feel a hole in my mouth where something used to be. I adapt, but it’s hard to really chew without teeth, isn’t it?

    The day I was born. Looking at the pictures feels like I lost someone dear to me, like a friend whom I never get the chance to talk to after a long time.

    I was born on this exact day. 😊 And it’s really interesting to see a picture of what it was like then. Find it amazing to know that someone still has pictures from back then even I don’t have a lot of pictures from my childhood. In fact I was really delighted seeing this picture it may not make sense to me directly but I just felt delightful seeing this picture. Jamie Livingston soul still lives indeed.

    So cool. I’m a very explosive person. This picture is so descriptive. I honestly love it. Born on this day, with a twin brother. A lighter is one item to explain our relationship to a T

    This is the day I was born, across the world, in Braila, Romania. How funny that someone on the other side of the world was taking this photo. I often wonder what other people are doing at a given moment in time. This feels so intensely personal for some reason… I now live in Canada. So strange how time passes and where we end up.

      I wonder the same thing. My birthday is actually March 13,1984 but he skipped that year for some reason, so this will have to do.

    This was the day I was born. It’s funny because I often have bandaids on my hands or fingers. I am clumsy. Always cutting myself or dropping things, running into walls, them sorta things. The skin on my hands often crack from being dry. Also, I feel as though this could possibly be a metaphor for my life. Putting a bandaid over the wounds of life and keep going about. That’s what I do…. Normally. As of late, I’ve been melancholy, I suffer from bipolar and depression, it’s been hitting hard the past couple of weeks. While drinking my coffee this morning, I figured I’d get on fb and look at some videos people have posted. I didn’t get very far before I seen the one on Jamie Livingston. What he did was absolutely amazing. I envy that. I wish I had the strive and courage to commit to such a thing. I feel lifted somehow seeing this site. I feel that I to can overcome, and in the end, if I cannot go on any longer and I can no longer overcome. My life just may have touched even just 1 person, then I have meaning. That’s the thing everyone wants. Meaning, to have meaning in another’s life. Thank you Jamie Livingston.
