Early last year, a friend of mine decided it was his time to get off the bus. It still hurts sometimes. Today gave me a good reminder of the friends I've lost along the way. Telegram automatically deletes your account if you are inactive for over a year. This saves them space, and its an automated process. Nothing to do or could be done about it I don't think. But now its not even his final pfp. Its just a red background with a generic ghost image. Deleted Account. The entire chat history is still there. I have it all. I should maybe find a way to archive it and save it. Its sadly all I have of him. Still.. its a bummer to not only be reminded of the loss of a friend, but also be reminded that in time, the evidence that you ever existed will be wiped from this world, the only memories being of those of us who stay. And then we too shall go. And eventually the evidence we were here will be gone too. This world can be such a disappointment sometimes...
