17th of March 2014. 10 years ago today, I bought my first smartphone. It was a Samsung Galaxy S2+. The Galaxy S5 was coming out in a few days back then, but as a student, there was no way I could afford it. I had to save money for a couple of years to put together those 210 euros I needed for the S2+ model, and there was no way I could afford to buy a newer version. But I wasn't sad. I was the happiest. I went with a group of friends to buy it, and we were all very excited. My best friend had a Nokia Lumia, but having a Samsung Galaxy was fancier back then, so my new smartphone was about to become the main character real soon. Finally, we were about to have a good device (8-megapixel camera) to capture memories. I exited the store and was impatiently waiting to go home to unbox it. I found my mom and my little brother waiting for me. Both were also very excited. I unboxed it carefully and went out to the balcony to take my first photo. The 17th of March 2014 was a beautiful, sunny day. Life was good. I was happy.

The next day in the auditorium, my friends were taking turns admiring it. We were taking selfies and playing games. It didn't last long because all of them got new smartphones in the coming weeks, and mine became old very soon. I still kept it with me for the next 5 years, and more than half of the pictures on this blog were captured by it. My Samsung Galaxy S2+ device now lies peacefully in one of my room drawers, always reminding me of people, places, moments, and feelings whenever I put it in my hand. There was a time when it looked like we didn't have much but still had everything.
