not to icloud, but to a flashdrive. a longer dirtier process to archive your life in this way, but i am dedicated to the project of documenting my life. i imagine myself decades from now, old and infirm, bedridden, finally scrolling back through the folders of old hangouts, vacations, walks to the park, exes, friends long past, and being delighted to relive my youth through my own eyes. i imagine the effort will be somehow worth it to be remembered and witnessed in this way, even if i am the only one witnessing and remembering

storage is cheap. put em on an external hard drive. if all your stuff is on the cloud, download a data dump every so often. then in 20 years you can go on a little nostalgia trip

for example. at this juncture of my life i am a brick wall. even a fortress, maybe. all obstacle. windows up high, no doors. something is happening inside, deep in the tower’s belly. the soft thing in the antechamber is glowing. it’s hardening like petrified wood. and no one would ever know, because it’s safe there. peaceful. no ego-drunk conquering lords come barreling in, no sad pilgrims, no tax collectors nor gamblers nor drunks nor pretty stable boys with ringlets enter here. the wall is impermeable and unscalable. every armchair explorer that has tried to climb it has given up, released and fallen into the waters below, more welcoming than the altitude. they, like most, were not ready for blisters. the brick wall is a happy wall, a technology without failures. press your face against it, hot from the sun, victorious

instead i like to think “damn kid go off, do that while you can” or, “me too buddy, me too”. it’s only such a short time in ur life when u can go out into the world and scream and cry and wail when you feel so moved. and good for them! i miss those days sometimes, and none of this stimuli is even new to me anymore. anyway, they certainly don’t know much better, and crying babies are an inevitability of life, so how could i be bothered? parents have enough to worry about without grown people being babies about their babies
