lost

Losing a cellphone is very much the same as losing a “loved one”. Pardon me for equating love and stuff as worldly as cellphone. I am quite the material girl, not “Madonna material girl” but someone who’s got a liking for stuffs. Now and again I have to detach myself to actually appreciate the fundamental . Perhaps the right equation would be losing a wallet & losing a loved one, but since I haven’t lose any wallet in a long time as compared to losing a lot of cellphone in as span of a few years the comparison is quite explicable.
We become attach to our cellphone because like our wallets we store a lot of stuff in there. When we lose a cellphone we lose all the valuable things we have kept there for a long time, pictures, music, text messages and what not( probably a scandal- a video of you singing scandalously) wink wink! We miss the comfort the predictability and the routine. Even if the time comes that we need a new one we still hold on to the old one. And sooner we got ourselves a replacement but we just seem uncomfortable using it. There’s just no match to the old one. We still long for the comfort and the familiar so we just go through the motions of using it without necessarily storing new files, new numbers etc. But in time we began to be familiar with the new stuff, and you begin to appreciate it, you still remember your old cellphone but you no longer feel the pain of losing it. ) So we begin to store new data, new pix new messages, new memory which doesn’t involve the old one. Just like when you accepted the fact that you lose someone you love - you’re no longer hurt you’re no longer hoping. Only time heals all wounds as they say so when we lose someone, we try to create memories which doesn’t involve that person anymore.
In my case Christmas and new year including valentines day were spent entirely with family and friends save for my birthday ( I was actually in the process of bargaining at that time ) So you begin to store new data, new pix new messages and a whole new dimension.

In losing important stuff just like in losing someone we should always “level up” -that is in finding a replacement look for a better version of the old one. Get “upgraded”
