Is it normal that i'm really scared of losing all of my old stuff?

I've had my google account for a really long time, and I have a bunuch of passwords on it, and my google drive is absolutely huge. It doesn't have anything worth money on it, just my old art and videos and pictures I like. But it's huge. I'm really scared I'll lose my google account and have nothing. I know I'll probably never need those things, I just like keeping them. And if someone finds out my password they would have everything, so I always want to just delete it so nobody can do that, but I also am really scared of losing it all. Is this normal?? Should I just delete it and save a few passwords and stuff I need?

    Buy an external hard drive and transfer everything onto that.

          I dunno, I'm not the most tech savvy person myself.

    Well, this might end up an ongoing project but maybe buy the external hard drive and start copying things to it. You want to have more than one copy of course so the hard drive and of course your google account.

    This might sound weird but yeah one day it may come where a lot of things get deleted or inaccessible of even google. It might seem impossible but shit happens.

    Worried about someone learning your PW?
    For choosing passwords, try to make them things you will remember but only you would understand the meaning of because of obscurity.

    I know somewhere on a computer's hard drive, there is a list of accounts and passwords, not even that hard to access, so when getting to your stuff, do NOT opt to save the password cause of your computer (or phone) gets ripped off...

    Mostly though, "clean house" if you have to but don't rid everything just cause something "might" happen.

    Just make your password a string of random numbers and letters and keep it on a piece of paper.

    I have such a metrialistic thing, that that makes me stop watching destruction movies, cause I think that someone inside the building has the same thing as I do
