# Collect a moment

> A few words, and that is enough. A feeling and a photo are optional.

**Collect a moment** is the one button on the home screen, right under your garden.

- Write a few words. Up to 500 characters.
- If you like, say how it felt: Happy, Grateful, Proud, Calm, Loved or Hopeful. You can skip this.
- If you like, add a photo (JPEG, PNG or WebP). The app makes it smaller before it is sent.
- Press **Keep it**.

The moment goes into your [Hope Journal](../hope-journal/) and plants something in your [Hope Garden](../hope-garden/). Every feeling grows its own flower; a moment without a feeling grows one too.

> [!NOTE]
> If your words sound heavy, the moment is still kept. Hopeloo then shows, gently, who you can talk to. Nothing is blocked.
