When I was little, I did a bunch of stopmotion and photos on an old phone my mom gave me. Little bro factory reset the phone by thinking the pattern was cool to mess up (it was swipe patter and the dots lit up whenever you swiped) so all of my first stopmotion is forever lost. How about you?Any personal media you've lost to the sans of time?

My old diaries and art. My family moved a lot and it was hard to hold onto a lot of stuff (my parent would also "make" things disappear sadly). Tons of art-again, if parent didn't like it, it "disappeared" while I was out at school. Some sample anime DVDs I had from magazines-I used to sneak them when my parent wasn't home, some anime handouts. I hid as best I could but parent eventually found those too. Also this really cool "animal dictionary" thing I made with fancy magazine clippings. I was quite animal crazy as a kid and even wanted to be a "archeologist" or "paleontologist," misspelled since I was like 6 of course. Finally, some Seuss themed book called like "All About Me" or something like that. Similar to my diaries.

Oh, that's horrible!

Well there was a lot of weird videos that I did over the years on my devices that I couldn’t save or deleted for reasons

Jesus I’ve seen you mentioning how horrible your parents were and I just would like to say that I’m really sorry that you had to go through that

Wow that really sucks, as bad as my dad could be he never personally went after any of my stuff(probably cause he knew if he did i'd mess with his stuff too out of spite and he had a lot of dangerous stuff like guns and chemicals that wasn't meant for kids to be around and if I did mess with it mom would've been pissed at both of us) and i'm very grateful that i've never once had to move and i'm still living in the same house I was born in(same bedroom too).

Yeah it really hurt, not that I would hung onto a lot of it anyway (I donated a LOT of old nerd magazines on my own later, I had read them so many times and didn't have room). People forget that "nerd chic" (or at least, a toleration or even affinity for nerdy interests) is fairly a modern phenomenon, and people didn't really "get it" when I was primarily growing up.
It seems strangely wistful and personal, but the old text messages/emails between my first "major boyfriend" and me. It was an older phone, I didn't back anything up (and I'm pretty sure he didn't) and we've been no contact for over 10 years now. I was just thinking of the fun long distance conversations we would have. No, I'm not stuck on him, I'm not pining for him, I'm not hoping to rekindle anything, I'm not still "missing him" or anything like that, I just got a certain vibe from our interactions and it would be fun to see what we rascals were up to then. Ain't never being found though.

I had a HALO notebook from 7th grade that I used for a couple of months. I left it at school and this lead to a series of unfortunate events that I would rather not talk about. Note that I wrote a dark story in there and it led to a misunderstanding so that's all you need to know. Last time I saw it was on Zoom as a photo in January 2023. I rather it stay Lost and hopefully destroyed.
I have some my first 3D renders of the Blender donut tutorial I was doing somewhere on the various hard drives in my house. I feel I should keep them as a keepsake.
