i like these days where my face is bare, my hair is messy, and i'm not trying look like anything else but myself. even though i just lost seven years worth of photos, it's ok. i'm sure i have most of the important ones saved to my phone, and hopefully i can continue to keep the other ones vibrant in my mind even with my deteriorating memory. it was my fault for not being cautious, so i take this as a chance to reduce my social circle, start fresh, and be more wary moving forward. however, one thing i'll never recover is my message thread between olli & i. it mostly consisted of links to buying concert tickets for our favorite bands and us spontaneously making plans to get boba or go to the skatepark. one day he said, "put on your best outfit, we're going to the mall to flirt with the zumiez boys." i got soooooo excited. 😂 that's one memory i hope stays vibrant though i'll never be able to talk to him again or look at his bitmoji chillin there.
