Heaven (or, How Much History Can You Take?)

Posted on by

Yesterday I went to my parents, plugged in my computer from undergrad, and copied all media files to an external hd. Most of this stuff I haven’t seen/heard in 3 years.

Talk about a memory trip.

I absorbed too many old photos and too many songs that provided the soundtrack to four years of my life. Is there a period in life where change happens as quickly and completely as it does the early 20′s?

Question – is it healthy to dig into old chat logs? :)

    >Question – is it healthy to dig into old chat logs? No… particularly not the ones of people you’ve dated. I also have been on a “music I haven’t listened to in ages” kick. My fileserver died a month or so ago and I got around to restoring everything to a little mini network drive, so now I’m like “oh cool, I forgot about this, and this, and that.”

    I flirted with the thought. Started to open some up, and then shut down the computer. Probably the safe thing to do.

    NO its not healthy to dig into old chat logs… but it is something i have been known to do, and will likely do again!! Is it healthy to go to ex’s facebook walls?

    Old chat logs can be fun and harmless unless (!) you explore one’s from people you’ve dated. That’s when trouble starts. I have no idea what this “facebook” thing you refer to is????
