Computer Crash

Nothing ad related today. Just more of a rant.

My computer crashed yesterday with all of my important files. Lovely. I was pretty upset in the moment, but now in retrospect, I’m really not that mad about it. I backed up all my files in Las Vegas, so I’m really only a month behind. All the group projects I was working on were also uploaded in the cloud. The only real work I’m missing is my writing for a copywriting class. That can be rewritten over a few annoying hours.

But as I sit here restoring my freshly wiped computer back to familiar settings, I notice that I really don’t have much essential applications on here at all. A few things here and there are for utilitarian purposes, but other than that, nothing too fancy.

Wiping the computer was kinda nice. I feel like I’m starting with a clean slate. Much like life, every now and then you need a detox. I feel like living light and starting anew makes you feel more relieved and less burdened. I’m equating that to my data loss right now. It all really isn’t so bad after all.
