Fuck me. I lost all of the notes on my iphone from the past 3ish months because of the stupid fucking ios5 update. I wrote a lot of things that are extremely important to me. My sister texted me asking for lyrics or poems about my dead friend because she wants to write a play for school. I thought “awesome, I have so much stuff, and I secretely really do want to share it”. But then I go to look and it’s gone and I feel lost. Jesus christ this is terrible. I don’t know what to do. I just feel so god damn stupid. Things just keep on getting better and fucking better. I just want to curl up and die.

you know i know what this is like.
i lost everything i wrote covering a good 3-year chunk of my life.
all my stories, all my poems, all my songs, everything i had written about my grandparents and childhood traumas and how much it hurt to see other people hurt.
Didn’t your phone create a back-up before it updated? I thought they do that automatically.
oh that was supposed to say “you can talk to me if you want because i sort of know what it’s like”. I mean my stuff wouldn’t have amounted to anything useful, but i still know what it’s like to lose it.
Thanks, I appreciate it. And it does create a backup but I was fucking around because I changed some settings before to fit more music on so I had to trick my phone and in the process delete the backup I made. Although apparently my u of a email was syncing with my notes, so I got them back luckily. Although I’m still missing austs phone number…
And I know it doesn’t mean anything, but I’m really sorry about that happening to you. Truly. And I never knew you wrote any songs
There’s no need to sneak little self-putdowns in there either. My stuff isn’t going to amount to anything, but that doesn’t make it any less important. I bet yours is better than mine, because you’re an excellent writer.
Usually nothing is actually deleted until you overwrite upon it, that is how it is in computers. The phone, you would need special software for that, but it should still be there
When you delete something what you do is remove the indexes that point to the memory blocks where you have your data stored, but the data is still there unless you have replaced the existing contents in the memory blocks with new content.
