thank you ^^ using external hard drives came more out of necessity and i tried for some time to become decent at photography. so that hard drives crash also had the added layer of losing some of my art.
i’m not even sure if i commit anything to memory deliberately—maybe i should. i think it often just either sticks or goes. maybe that’s why i enjoy pictures? i sometimes scroll through old folders and get surpised by motives i took or people i met.
i’m glad my little story helped you find words for your choice and gave you resolve for your non-external hard driven life ;3
funny side-fact: i lost a month worth of conversations on my phone this week due to my accidentally turning of my computer while my phone was still updating >.< and the best part: i considered for a moment to create a phone backup but thought it should be fine ^^
