Random thought about Loss

Just a random thought.

I want to start writing again. I remember The Experience Project. I had 18 stories on there 100s of questions and I was into writing about life, experiences, trauma, and things that I learned throughout it. When it was taken down, I didn't immediately know, but I was broken. I can't access that email or phone for backup/ export. My stories are gone. I remember another time when I was MUCH younger, my parents had a computer that didn't have internet. So, Word was my getaway. I am not exaggerating when I say I had HUNDREDS of short stories, ideas, and just thoughts on the things that I was learning. But then, we had a robbery. They took the computer with ALL of my writings on it.

It feels disheartening. I feel saddened. I don't know.

Now there is Similar Worlds... But how similar is it? If I start up again will I lose everything? I mean sure I could write and save it on a drive, but I don't believe that is the point. I love writing, just getting all of the thoughts out, quiets the voices. It keeps everything calm, relaxes me, and makes room for logical thinking. No matter the subject. I don't want to lose it again. Having even a small audience makes it worthwhile. Looking forward to the engagement and having someone look forward to reading what you have to say.

I just had a thought.

Why don't you write in book. You can later take a picture and post it here. This is the safest way to save your work.

@kalpanapatel149 Maybe I will try that. Maybe it's just the weirdo in me. I like the typing. But a physical book could act as a copy. That's a good idea.
I’m not very tech savvy but couldn’t you just email yourself what you write here?

@OlderSometimesWiser Yeah, I could do that also. I just wish that I could have everything I have ever written. MayBe I could spark an idea off of something 12-year-old me was thinking. I would never think of some of those things now. Adult me isn't capable. I find that funny. A child's mind is something to cherish and I have lost those memories.
@Teyiah Yes, I can understand being sad about that. It’s certainly a loss. But I do hope you can make some worthwhile memories this time around. 🙂

More of us need to start writing here again. The Q&A gets dull and redundant.

Sad that you lost your email password. I had my stories on EP and carefully backed them up and exported to SW.

What do you write about usually?

Unsure if it's still an option but you could retrieve you EP info/posts
