I KNOW many of you have had those moments where your favorite memories or even notes get deleted from your phone. Well,l let me tell you, you’re not the only one. So how about YOU start getting those memories off that phone? Sounds confusing, I know, but what if you started printing out your best memories? Or even journal those notes that you always delete or lose — keep them safe.

Do you ever stop to think that if you printed out your pictures and put them on your wall, we’d all get to experience them with you? Giving people the opportunity to see those pictures lets everyone around you see all your adventures/memories. Printing your pictures out lets you keep them and never worry about them being deleted or lost. I know everyone has been upset about losing pictures. So, how about you put an end to that cycle and have those memories with you forever?

I’m someone who hates getting my favorite memories deleted or losing my notes. Getting it off your phone would be much better. I even started printing out my pictures and journaling everything every day. So now, when I wanna look for a specific picture or memory, I don’t have to search my phone while the other person awkwardly stands there waiting for me to find it. Now I have a wall of pictures, all of my close friends and family get to experience with me.

Now, let me tell you the pros about journaling. Being able to journal things instead of putting your thoughts into that silly notes app is just so much better! Some of your handwriting skills might even get better over time. But when you journal, it lets you look back on those thoughts in a couple of months, or maybe even a few years, ONLY if you really know how to take care of and be responsible for your thoughts. I know some people struggle with being responsible. But that’s not the point here; the point is that journaling your things is quicker and easier for YOU. Think about how awesome it would be to be able to read all your thoughts from years ago, or how your future self would laugh about your old thoughts.

Maybe printing your pictures out or buying a journal would be a little more expensive than just leaving them on your phone, but with a mindset like that, no one will ever get to experience your things with you. As a lancer, I’ve seen so many teachers around Granger with walls covered in photos of their private lives. We get to see their experiences, their loved ones, and all of the above. Now think about it: if teachers left those pictures on their phones, no Lancer would be able to know fun facts about their teachers or how their lives are outside of school.

So stop risking the loss of your favorite memories or thoughts. Buy their journal and print those pictures, and maybe you’ll end up telling yourself it was a good idea to GET IT OFF YOUR PHONE!
