#Throwback

A memory post is the ritual of dredging up a snippet of the past to bestow a sense of mystic brilliance upon one’s life. In reality, it is a self-styled time travel that cherry-picks only the prettiest fragments from a sea of embarrassments. Every emotive tale paraded on social media is a veneer of selective memory, quietly burying the mundane reality lurking underneath. Though countless “likes” gratify the hunger for approval, the true memories remain unwitnessed in the hearts of onlookers. Thus, the memory post stands as an ironic trump card whose potency lies in its very emptiness.
