If I lost my phone, I would cry and hold a funeral for my notes and to-do’s. My photos are all saved in the cloud now, so they're perfectly safe. But these tiny snippets feel like pieces of me I leave behind. They're stories I think of that never get finished, or reminders to tell my partner about a funny moment, or to-do list items that get done one way or another, or things I consumed that I either liked or want to talk about further.
