I was going through my Sent messages today in my email, and scrolling down to the bottom, it started in 2004... and I thought, wow, these are really old. So I skimmed through all 653 emails that I had once sent... some short, some long, some funny, some serious and sad, some I'm ashamed of, and some that I would keep... I skimmed through all of them, and saw high school again.
And then, once I read the ones with important titles, once I realized what they were doing to me, once I knew what they would keep doing to me, I clicked on the select all button and deleted them, every last one, all 653 emails, because the past should stay in the delete bin... we should never go back.

I don't know that that's always true. The past doesn't always belong in the delete bin. I wouldn't delete the last 6 months of my life for anything, to be quite honest, and I wouldn't delete high school, either. But there's a place for everything and I say, if it's not cluttering your room and only exists in cyber space, you can stand to keep some of it around, if only to go back and remember the good things. bad past should almost always go into the trash bin.
