I always screenshot things to remember them or reference later but then I never look at the folder lmao. And same with saving things on Insta / Pinterest. So taking time to actually go back and look through them feels very grounding lol ๐
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 thereโs just way too many to reasonably filter through so Ive just accepted that they all can stay. screenshots of conversations with people who I donโt 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
These can be little jokes, baby animals, screenshots of nice things people have said to you, or just people you love. I call mine my "affirmation folder" and find it a wonderful place to spend time if I'm ever having a bleak one.
