My Facebook Feed, Through The Lens of Eternity
Sometimes, I imagine a time after my death.
I imagine my Facebook memories feed. You know, that reminder everyday that tells you what you shared on this exact day, in past years.
I imagine convincing a friend to login to my Facebook account after my death and re-share one post from my past, everyday.
My intention isn't to fool anyone into believing I am still alive, but instead to (hopefully) bring value to peoples lives with my content after my death. That value could be laugher, insight, vulnerability, kindness, support, goofiness, etc, etc. It doesn't all have to be serious and philosophical. It can also be fun and light.
For me, there is something very empowering about imagining my social media content and my self-expression through the lens of eternity. I prefer that perspective, much more than through the lens of instant gratification and "likes", which I also fall victim to, much more than I'd like to admit.
Here's what my Facebook memories looks like for today (Jan 10th).
What would your feed say about you, after your death? (see your own here)
Is that message how you want to be remembered for eternity?
Personally, I know I have many posts that are not how I want to be remembered.
But that's okay. Those posts got me here and for that I am eternally grateful.
