Do you keep them, destroy/delete them, lock them away? What are you doing with your photos of your old self?

Personally I'm a bit torn. On one hand I want to keep them because they are still memories, on the other hand I never want to see them again. So I will probably lock them away/archive them somewhere.

But what about you?

Occasionally I get jump scared by them when Google Photos is like "remember when you were an ugly boy?" and feel dysphoric over it. But when I control when/who sees the photos, I'm pretty fine with it at this point. He doesn't even really look like me, to quote an ex I awkwardly ran into and hadn't yet come out to, I "look like a woman that sort of resembles [boy me]".
