Guess it just proves how important it is to backup stuff, guys.

"Which begs the question, why do we all dream?"

I'm finding it really difficult to believe my phone has gone. I just keep on thinking it's there, still within easy reach. All the pictures and videos and texts and recordings and music and everything. The music can be replaced pretty easily, but I'm never gonna going to get back my housemate's drunken rendition of her presentation about The Faerie Queen again, am I?

I understand, I lost my phone the other week which had millions of photos on that I wish I still had :(

There were photos of me on a segway on a sunset-lit promenade, and pictures of epic pina coladas and pretty autumnal days and all sorts :( I need to get over it.

And it's just a phone. *little headdesk*

Where did you lose it? Any chance of getting it back?

Blegh, being a photographer I understand how crap it feels to lose photos, regardless of sentimentality or not. It is just a phone but at the end of the day it's something that you've carried around with you so long, you've chatted with it, you've shared the good and the bad times with it. It's sort of like losing a little piece of you, so much is stored on it which is hard to part ways with.

I dunno, I misplaced it somewhere, someone tried to get in contact with a friend and that's the last we heard. Got it barred now but still.

Definitely. I always feel I put so much of myself onto the things I own, and so when they get taken, it can feel very much like I've been got at personally. I guess it's not surprising I felt a bit vulnerable and insecure.

Thanks for you comment, it actually helped to get over it a lot. I'm still gutted, because it had a lot of holiday snaps (no-one ever says "snaps" to mean 'photos' anymore, do they?) and some really nice little texts. At the end of the day, I haven't been hurt, nor lost anything that important, but I don't think I'll forget it for a long time especially since the new phone I've got is annoying me no end.
