Facebook Memories..

[BertrandRussell]

...is anyone else irrationally disappointed when they don’t get a good FB memory?

Mine just depress me. Lots of photos of smiling little faces. Now I have teens

Mine's just embarrassing... 7, 8,9 and 10 years ago my friends and I were attention seeking late teens/early twenties. Most of the stuff I posted was utter nonsense or "deep thoughts" and awful photos. I stopped being quite so "post happy" when I turned 24/25, so there's not a lot from the past 6 years (ish)

I just laugh at what I'd put and don't share anything, today's "deep thought" is from 19 year old me: "Nonconformity, when you try so hard to be different, you are the same as everyone else"

11 years ago I was in Scotland apparently.
I've enjoyed my memories from 13 years ago this week of a trip to the Netherlands (not so much the pictures of me kissing a random bloke)

It makes me sad because it reminds me when Facebook was for fun photos with mates and cringey but amusing statuses. Now it's a shitpool of angry conspiracy nuts and Russian bots.

I think i’m lucky with fb in that I was already well into my settled child rearing days when I joined. So nothing much personally embarrassing ever comes up. Just nice family/friend memories. And interesting political stuff. I wish I’d placed a bet the day 3 years ago when I predicted that Johnson would be Prime Minister by this September, though........
