#old laptop

Thank you for everything. You have served me well for over 7 years of my life…From age 16, till yesterday. Though it’ll be painful to move on from you, as you’ve provided me so much joy, stability and happiness…I must let you go. The moment you stopped charging, I knew…Your time had come. Though I did anticipate this day…I did not expect it to come so soon. Though I will move onto my brand new laptop, I will forever thank you for the years of inspiration you’ve given me. You served me so much more than I ever thought possible. I actually consider it a miracle you lasted this long, considering unknown to me, you were experiencing electrical damage for over a year…Only when I took you to the technician, did they finally say “Your laptop is beyond saving”. Though it deeply broke my heart and left me stressed and worried for over 24 hours…I still thank you for helping me through some of the darkest moments in my life.

Though my new laptop will be technologically better in a lot of ways, it will never replace the memories I made with you. The years of writing fanfictions, the many book drafts I wrote (and am still writing), the endless high school assignments and college assignments you helped me write, the many attempts at using streaming services, and even the couple years of playing Sims 4 until your fans overheated. Even when you pissed me off sometimes, you still did the best you could with the problems you had. Though your perseverance was admirable (this poor thing handled hours of overheating when playing Sims 4, which could’ve easily contributed to its demise), I know it was time for you to go. And though I know you are just an inanimate object with little regard for human emotion…You still hold strong sentimental value in my heart. I said it when I transferred my Sims 4 save data and mods to a USB key…And I’ll say it again.

I will miss you. Goodbye.
