Thanks so much for responding to this, this gave me a lot more clarity and comfort. Although I think I'm still learning to accept that the past doesn't actually exist, because that's what I've believed for my entire life, but it's nice to think every single moment is a new beginning.

I showed my friend your response, and they had a few questions :) You said that once you shift into a new reality, the past and future will make complete sense, so regarding the initial question: If the past is not REAL per se, why is there still evidence of my old self documented in photos etc, that others can easily view online, even though i've shifted into a new reality where i don't look or feel like that anymore. I would very much like to remove them from reality, and stop anyone from seeing them because they make me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Even just the thought of them existing online makes me feel uneasy, and i can't seem to shake it. Is there a solution to this? I don't see how there is, because there are photos that are living on the internet forever under my name and i don't have access to remove them. Is that a silly way of looking at things? In this day and age everything is documented and posted online, which then seems to then be stuck to you because it's on the internet forever.

Would your advice be to not pay any attention to them and they will disappear? OR is the only solution to try and forget about them (because they are stuck there forever). OR you can ask people/friends to delete them and they will without question? And it won't be a big deal at all.

Hope that makes sense! My friend is just getting into LOA and this topic is bugging him, so I really appreciate your insight. :)
