The day my phone got snatched in Mushin changed everything

I was coming back from the market in Mushin, phone in my hand like fool. Before I could blink, two boys on a bike snatched it. I just stood there, heart pounding, watching them disappear.

That phone had everything. My content drafts, brand pitches, voice notes to my future self. I cried for two days. Then I realised something. I had been storing my entire life in a device that could be taken in seconds.

Now I back up everything three times over. Cloud, hard drive, even write some things in a notebook. The lesson hit me hard. Don't put all your memories in one place, especially not in a Lagos traffic jam.
