The other day I was fixing some of my old mobile phones. I wanted to donate it to some one instead of having it lying around at home. Yea yea, these days mobile phones are good items to donate. So, what's my mobile phone story? Over the course of 4 years I have replaced my mobile 3 times. Curiously enough, they all had developed display related problems. So, while my number remained unchanged, my phone kept changing. In a single stroke I got all the displays fixed and before giving it out, I wanted to check if everything was working and fine.
While I was browsing through the features, I happened to look at my inbox as well. I am so glad I did that because what I found in it was a memory of my life in the last 4 years. Through sheer chance each of the phones retained a portion of the text messages I had received and sent over the years. It was fun reading through them. I saw my reflection in the past and it was nostalgic. It also felt like I was reliving those days in the moment I was reading the messages. As I scanned through the messages, I realized so many things had changed in the time.
If you happen to have an old phone, I would urge you to take a look and see if you still have some messages in it. Maybe you will find something in it that you cherished. Perhaps a funny exchange of messages with a friend, perhaps a tough situation which you got out of, perhaps a silly conversation which you can laugh over. Whatever you find in there, it will definitely rekindle your memory, a part of you which is now only an imprint in the shadows.
