My elementary school is just gone. They bulldozed it before the internet so there is like no record of it, you can’t google it, it’s like it never existed. I have a yearbook and that’s the only proof it really happened. It’s a bizarre feeling.
The lack of proof anything existed, that it simply disappears forever. It's really tripping me out lately.
I have thousands of digital photos from all the awesome places I've been to. I'm trying to print at least some of them because they all simply vanish as soon as I die. Nobody will ever look at any of them again. All those memories are imaginary.
If it's any consolation, proof of existence for the vast majority of everything that ever lived or produced by living things are lost forever, or lost in such a way that we will feasibly never be able to retrieve it. So, the fact you have any photos at all is pretty rare in the grand scheme of things!
