I receive voicemails from my family and life appointments reminders. Do your friends leave you voicemails unless it’s serious?

Keep voicemails or delete them immediately? I can’t be bothered to delete mine.

I have to admit, I’m happy I have some VMs left over from the people I really care about. Texts just don’t do a person’s essence justice. Nor does a VM, but it’s better than nothing…right? Apple’s monthly storage fees certainly think so.

How long should we keep voicemails from people no longer in our lives? 

All I know is the permanence and impermanence of it all just hurts, but that’s still better than nothing for me.
