Floppy Disk

Floppy disk.

A tiny square that once held entire worlds.

School projects. Poems. Letters. Songs. Half-finished dreams saved with hope and crossed fingers.

Back then, we carried memories in plastic cases.

Careful not to bend them. Careful not to lose them.

Funny, how something so small could feel so important.

And now—

just hearing the words floppy disk feels like opening an old drawer of forgotten years.

The sound of clunky computers. Waiting patiently for things to load.

No rushing. No endless scrolling.

Just curiosity. Discovery. And the strange magic of technology still learning how to dream.

Perhaps memory itself is a little like a floppy disk.

Some things fade.

Some become unreadable.

But certain moments— the important ones— stay quietly saved inside us.

Waiting for one small thing—

a word, a smell, a song—

to bring them spinning back to life.
