Do you ever get the urge to print out and save your online exchanges? I’m not even talking about really momentous stuff like an @ from Beyonce—though obviously that’s something you would want on your gravestone. Sometimes I just really treasure a 3am DM from someone who saw a thing and thought of me, or a mundane text message that signs off with “Love, Dad”.

 

Somewhere on my hard drive I actually do have a folder of screenshots; things like the notification that I was accepted to an important program, or a breakup that happened mostly via Facebook Messenger (college, eyyy). But will  I have them in 50 years to look back on, the way my parents have letters and cards that they tossed into shoeboxes? Why do I have so many digital shoeboxes? Hard drives and thumb drives and message logs on ten different apps. It feels a little like a lost cause to try to keep all those memories together.
