I totally understand the appeal of digging up old photos and sharing them online. There’s something amusing about our past fashion choices, hairstyles, or those adorable moments when our kids were still chubby-cheeked. However, there are days when scrolling through my Facebook and Instagram feeds turns into an overwhelming experience, as I sift through countless posts, yearning for something that reflects recent events.
Here are five ways we can ensure Throwback Thursday stays a delightful trip down Memory Lane:
- Share Truly Old Photos
Photos from last year or even last month don’t quite fit the bill for a throwback. While some say that five years is the standard, I’d encourage you to dig even deeper into your archives unless you have something particularly remarkable from a more recent time. - Limit the Number of Pictures
One nostalgic photo with your childhood friends is charming, but posting eight individual images in quick succession? That’s excessive. Instead, consider creating a photo album or simply selecting your favorite one. - Add Context to Your Photos
There’s likely an interesting story behind that photo you’re posting, so why not share it? A little background can turn a simple image into a memorable moment for everyone. - Appreciate the Present You
While it’s fun to see how we’ve changed over the years, try not to focus solely on how you looked years ago. Celebrate who you are today, because you’re still beautiful in your own right. - Use a Reasonable Amount of Hashtags
Let’s keep the hashtags to a minimum—no need to tag every noun in your photo. A couple of well-chosen words along with the essential #tbt will suffice.
And please, let’s save Throwback Thursday for Thursday—no need for Flashback Friday to sneak in!
I genuinely appreciate my friends and their updates; I just want to enjoy them on Thursdays too.
