Social Media Past
We’ve all looked back on our past selves and
wondered what the heck were we thinking? In some
respects, it’s good to reflect every once in a while,
because it’s a reminder of how much we’ve grown
and matured over the years.
But even then, we can’t deny it would be nice if we

could just go back in time and erase some of our
dumber decisions.
Unfortunately, we can’t do that in real life.

Fortunately, we can do it in the digital realm, and it’s
not even terribly hard to check over old posts and
pictures and delete the stuff you don’t think are
reflective of your character anymore.
