Not once, not twice I heard multiple times people sharing social media as Happy Memory box. Glad it serves as a Happy memory box. But I'm skeptical about the way it affects our memories. If this is used as a memory box, it comes with a price.
When you share memory and receives a reward or thumbs up for it. We become compulsive about receiving applause every time we post something. I've experienced myself turning compulsive checking the social media several times. After receiving a lot of attention through social media, I wished to engage through comments and replies but I failed at it. Hardly there was a conversation that enriched me or that left me with a good feeling.
In compulsion of creating good memories unconsciously, I struggled and forgot to appreciate my life in a better way.
