We Forget. If we let ourselves.

If you give anyone enough time, he/she will begin to forget. If you're away from something long enough, it'll all begin to fade away. Especially if you're able to keep yourself consistently distracted.

I think we're like this for good reason. It's wonderful to reminisce, and your history truly does shape who you are, but is it very functional to always be living in the past? What can be gained by rehashing, by regretting, by what-ifs?

If you want to make your life all it can possibly be, you have to be present in the present.

Anyways, all this is to say that I think we should use social media with caution. It's a powerful and wonderful way to stay in touch, and to keep tabs on people around the globe. This is a mixed blessing. Forgetting can be for the best, and prodding old memories will keep them alive for longer than they ought to be.
