I love capturing texts that make my day or make me laugh or make me cry. I love swiping through my album of screenshotted conversations as I remember all the words, thoughts, and photos that people I love wanted to share with me. My friend randomly texted about Jim Croce on a Monday morning and I don’t ever want to forget that sentiment. I love being a memory hoarder
ever since I lost all the photos I took on my iphone 5S back in 2018 I have SWORN to always back up my camera roll to each new phone I get my hands on!! I am SUCH a hoarder for screenshots and atp there’s just way too many to reasonably filter through so Ive just accepted that they all can stay. screenshots of conversations with people who I don’t even speak to anymore. Screenshots of assorted instagram memes that i wanted to send to certain people years ago. They all served a purpose once upon a time and now they get to retire into the depths of familiarity amidst the other masses of images I have no reason to keep. But I keep them anyway. Maybe in 50 years time when my body and soul is uploaded into the cloud I will be able to walk back down through my camera roll and relive the memories I decided not to delete. That would be nice
