Mourning The Loss Of My Memories

And just like that, they were gone

Now I know some of you will get it, while others will think why on Earth does she care so much?

But something I never expected, happened to me.

Out of the blue I was logged out of my Instagram and after attempting to log back in, I was asked to provide a picture of myself holding a code. Once I did my account was under review. I wasn’t too worried though, I knew I hadn’t broken any of Instagram’s guidelines or been hacked so I patiently waited for my account to be reactivated.

When I checked in again to see if I had regained access, I received a message saying that Instagram had reviewed my account and had decided to permanently disable it, and the decision was irreversible.

I was gutted.

I get that this is a first-world problem and I know I will eventually get over it but I can’t help but feel devastated.

I don’t care about losing all my followers or anything like that. I was just upset that years and years worth of memories had been wiped away just like that and for no reason at all.

I have tried every avenue under the sun to get it back but to no avail.
