RIP to the Memories

I recently went through a major heartbreak. Here's what happened.

The other night I was getting ready for bed, I had already taken my makeup off and put my pjs on, and was getting into bed. You all know me, I'm a big wimp, so as I turn my lamp off I run to my bed and jump in as fast as humanly possible. And as part of my nightly routine I sit in the dark on my ipod and take one last sweep around all my social media sites. This is when I realized the little red notification on my settings app. So I open the app and figure out that theres a new software for iOS 7.1.1. The little notification bubbles on the apps have always bugged me so I decided to update the software. After I had put in my password to give my approval, a loading page that said "Verifying authentication" or some shiz like that came up. After it had been on that page for a minute or two I came to the realization that this was gonna take quite a while, and I still had to set my alarm and go to bed as it was starting to get really late. So I powered my ipod off. Bad mistake. I then went to turn it back on to set my alarm and this popped up on the screen.

I had never seen this screen. So I nervously popped out of bed and ran down stairs wide eyed. I burst into my dads office and showed it to him. We sat there for a while trying all we could to be able to get back into my ipod. Nothing. I started losing hope and the tears started pouring out as I lost hope. I had so many different memories stored on that ipod that I didn't want to lose! My dad told me that he would continue to do what he could to figure it out, and sent me off to bed. Needless to say I cried myself to sleep taking deep breathes in between the sobs. After school the next day my dad informed me that there was no hope and that we were going to have to reset my ipod to factory settings. I readied myself and we did the deed. As I sniffled and sobbed of course. My ipod was connected to an icloud account but the storage had been full since February so it hadn't backed anything up since then. So I still have everything from December to halfway through February. But everything between then to now is lost forever. This includes pictures and videos from concerts and many other things.

May this be a lesson to everyone NEVER EVER BE AS STUPID AS ME AND TURN OFF YOUR PHONE OR IPOD DURING AN UPDATE.

Let this also teach us to live in the moment and enjoy things as they come rather than relying on documentation to remember everything for us. The memories you store can be taken away just like that. So live life and leave the electronics away.

One day when I'm old I'll forget about the memories that are gone from my ipod and those times and happenings will be lost forever. So RIP to the memories. May they rest in joy and peace.

Au revoir xx
