A Blessing In Disguise

An Unplanned Deletion

An Unplanned Deletion

Storage full ... Its more tough than cleaning a whole house to clean device memory. I am fedup with this. And suddenly a notification pop up. One of my friends message in WhatsApp app. Oh but to read it and reply back first I need to open WhatsApp first. This hell of a storage fullness is causing me this head ache. But suddenly something happend and I don't know what I did and bhoom... Everything was gone. Whatsapp isn't showing my one year of messages and contents. What... I was literally sweating. Ha people who doing clearchat every month can't relate to it. But I am a person sometimes find solace in the good old memories through the chat. Yes I am a chat person. And I as like always did run to ChatGPT. And did whatever it says and now instead of bhoom a silence creep through me. Because guess what it's gone. Everything not only the messages... I checked my gallery and the number of media I was keeping for years more than 14k images slowly decreasing infront of my eyes. I was like can I atleast get my photos back... But reality was far from that it was gone. And the backwas also off due to same storage full issue in Gmail.
But... I accepted it. I know it's gone. And it's like a blessing in disguise. Why it wasn't good for me finding solace in those good old messages. Some chats are to be cleared. No matter what it's best to not turn back in to the past. Even if it's good memory that will hurt you if the person is no longer the same. Or you don't see them same as before.
So some unplanned deletion is good for us. Doesn't matter it's some messeges or even it's a person also.
