Power in I'm Just Snacking 2024

While looking at the pictures and feeling a bit weirded out, I did what I always do and turned to my phone for a distraction.

I enjoy trying out new apps, especially social apps that are not well-known, AI apps, and editing apps. I recently discovered a new one called Retro. It’s quite simple and plain, almost like a photo diary. You can give people “a key” to view your posts, or keep it private.

To be honest, I keep forgetting about the app, but whenever I remember, I usually send out invites to try it. Well, I accidentally sent one to my sister Kim’s first husband, Conrad, who recently lost his wife. Despite the situation with my sister, he has always been like a brother to me.

He didn’t realize it was me who sent the invite, so I sent a silly selfie. We ended up texting for a while, and I helped him set up his own Retro account. We also talked about life. He and his late wife loved summer holidays, and he has had a boat for as long as I can remember. He used to be part of the police dive team and all that. With it being 4th of July weekend, he was struggling due to missing Julie. He was grateful for the accidental text, and I suggested he should come visit me now that he’s retired. I even cried a bit, haha.

Then I went back to looking at the pictures, and that’s when I found photos of Conrad and Kim from their wedding. I had no control over these strange coincidences. Something had placed those pictures in the bag. Seeing the wedding photos of Kim and Conrad in the bag that should not have been there, along with other photos of friends and family, deeply unsettled me. It was just weird. Just… really weird.
