A familiar ceiling can hold memories no photograph thought to capture.

You have spent hours looking at certain ceilings, in states nobody photographed: awake at three in the morning, ill, in love, dreading something, recovering. Those hours are a real part of your life and they left no record anywhere except in the room. A familiar ceiling holds a version of your history that no album contains.

When you find yourself in one of those rooms again, allow the recognition. The unphotographed parts of a life are not less real for being unrecorded. They are often where most of it happened.
