Life support on my computer failed.

I don't mind having everything on my computer wiped out because it feels fresh and clean now, all that stuff on my computer before was just so cluttering. Although I'm not sure I was minding not having my computer wiped clean like it was robbed.

Digital is so good for forcing us to let go of metaphoric attachments. When the crash happens, it's just gone, nothing you can do. Any emotional reaction is unreasonable, all you can do is let it go and work with what's now.

I even considered letting the whole computer thing go – cut loose my online presence and focus on the future. It would be that easy. Computer dies, can't afford a new one, can't figure out how to make it work, fin.
