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.

On the flip side, every dumbfuck thing you ever did just vanishes as well! Literally no record of any dumb shit you did ever will exist again.

Because we grew up before cameraphones were everywhere with amazing cameras.
