Join me in my moment of silence. Multiply
officially close down.
Multiply served as back-up for my everyday photos
from high school to college. Just like that, it's gone. And the worst part
is, I
wasn't able to retrieve all of my photos or
transfer it to my other social networking sites.
I've read this news months ago but didn't do
anything about it. So many thoughts of regret and guilt that run through my
head right now. Bunch of pictures got deleted in just a snap. I feel like
crying. I know that there are many people in this world who have concerns
far more significant than mine. Sorry for being such a sentimental
person. I have this habit of keeping everything. When I was quite young,
probably around 14, my set of friends gave me a scrapbook filled with so many
pictures of us and arranged chronologically. When I got back home from
school, I pulled out many carefully composed photo albums made by my mom and
dad included detailed captions and dates. I felt washed over in happy
memories and if I hadn’t been a sentimental before then, I certainly was after.
After that, there were always pictures taken, toasts given. They are an
anchor to a memory of a past event. I call
them My Archive, I know I’m preparing to remember,
making sure I’ll have something tangible to look back on later.
Looking back at old photos gives me positive
reminiscing and a self-soothing feeling and wishing I could back to that moment.
Preserve memories, the good ones of course!
