Why it is actually a bad idea to delete all the photos with your ex in them

Completely done with that ex and would you prefer to erase your entire past? Don't do it, experts advise. You would be better off not deleting all the photos where your ex is in. With new AI software, you can airbrush all your vacation photos so that you can easily remove your ex. Your photos look like new.

This is why you shouldn't want to. It's symbolic: you shouldn't pretend that someone never existed. It's part of your life.

And no matter how painful it can sometimes be to look at the face of someone who has hurt you, it is part of letting go. And also part of forgiving. You can look at old photos and think about the happy phase you were in together. That is allowed. The heartbreak that followed is unfortunate, but you were also happy together and those pictures should be cherished. I'm not saying you should look at them every day, but in your entire film roll with 60,000 photos, there can definitely be one in there, you know. This ex and breakup are part of you and make you who you are now. Those photos can give you a little sting in your stomach and make you feel bad, but that's okay. You accept that it's over. And in that lies your strength, your growth, your personal development. You are now more than you were then and you can just accept those pictures. Good for you. So don't delete them, but learn to deal with them. Time heals almost all wounds.

That person is not your ex for nothing, right? Something wasn't quite right, and you know that. You deserve more than this, so move on. Take the time to find yourself again after a breakup and invest in your own happiness. Then you'll really get there and you'll see that those old photos no longer affect you. Forgive: yes, but don't forget.
