9.11.25: Delete Memories

They released an update that lets you delete memories. Not big ones. Just little tweaks. Embarrassing moments. Awkward silences. That one time you waved at someone who wasn’t waving at you. I thought it’d be nice. Clean slate, less cringe. But the deletions left weird gaps. I couldn’t finish stories. People brought up moments I didn’t remember, and I’d smile like I wasn’t missing a scene. Eventually I forgot why I didn’t want to remember. That scared me most. Some nights I wonder what else I deleted. What else I let go of in the name of peace. I wish I knew.
