My Phone Died

It started with a minor glitch. I opened Google Maps, it became unresponsive, and the phone restarted itself. After two restarts, I couldn't access the main screen and fell into a loop of the recovery menu. After hours of trying to recover without success, I accepted defeat and got myself a new phone. In the world of function, everything seems fine. But with a broken phone, memories and data go away. While I can recover some photos and contacts from the drive, some applications asked for verification and required travel to a foreign bank. Other data was lost forever.

Is losing data a good thing? Do you like looking at your old photos and remembering what happened then? Is reminiscing about old memories a good thing? Sometimes you just need to accept that things happen as they are meant to be. Losing someone or something is part of being a human, and you have to make peace with it.
