Dear Future Self: Facebook Photo Comments

Dear Future Self,

I thought it might be a good idea to publicly record some ideas for you to refer back to at some point in my current future and your current current. Because let's be honest, we all make mistakes, and sometimes we make them again. As George Bush said, fool me once...something or other.

Consider this your reminder to really think about what you comment on Facebook photos. What you said that was funny as a college freshman in 2005, when Facebook added the Photo app, is almost certainly not still funny now that you're in your mid-twenties. And since we supposedly continue to grow wiser as we grow older, it is likely that in five years, you will be five years smarter, and five years more embarrassed at the stupid shit you said five years ago.

Unless, of course, you're hysterical. Then please proceed. The rest of us need a laugh both now and in five years.

Smooches,
Brittany

P.S. I guess this goes for status updates too, but those were later and changed format so much that none of us really kept track or gave a damn.
P.P.S. Oh my God we all looked so young in 2005.
