I've been trying to write a response to this in a couple of tries, and the best I've got is: but also don't feel beholden to this.
The past isn't always a fun place to go visit, even if it's not traumatic. Who you were and who you are are different people, and getting dragged back to that old self can feel suffocating rather then fun.
Strictly technical records? Great. Everything? Even if you want to keep it, you may find you don't like revisiting it. I have zip files which exist because I don't quite want to destroy old records entirely, but I certainly don't want to actually scroll into photos from 10 years ago.
