Day 98 - Out of Sight Out of Phone in of Drive Out of Mind in of Drive

Removal of the visual reminders of what my life once was seems like a good idea. Too often do I unintentionally confront dispiriting sadness when trying to find a photo as I scroll through reels of pictures of myself and Georgia. Permanent deletion seems too cruel when many of the photos still evoke positive emotions, so my tactic, at least for the time being, is to transfer onto Google Drive. Out of sight out of phone in of drive out of mind in of drive. 

I still think this is a good idea - The photos will still exist but they won't exist a single click away from my eyes at any moment. Nonetheless, the process of the act, one by one selecting photos of a happier me and her in a highlight reel of a better previous life, is not the easiest. Bittersweet is the word but I wish I could think of something more interesting. Sometimes I wish I could invent a word because words are too mainstream.

Focussing on the positives; I've been to Rome, Paris, New York and a Riley's in Lincoln. And I suddenly have a lot more space on my phone, the battery will be on another level, so that's exciting.
