In a world where technology is basically everything to basically everyone, it's hard to really see how fast time has gone by and how many things we so easily lose track of. People are constantly taking selfies, pictures of their food and even their dates and I think it's great, but you post the picture and a week later and forget about it. So here is a thank you letter to Facebook memories.

Thank you.

Thank you for reminding me four years ago I became friends with one of my favorite people in the whole world.

Thank you for reminding me one year ago I got the best job I have ever had.

Thank you for reminding me how much all my siblings and friends have grown in the time I have been around.

Thank you for showing me how much I have changed, how much I have learned and how much I have grown as a person.

Thank you for reminding me that even though five years ago something terrible happened, I made it through and am still here and moving on.

Thank you for reminding me how many truly amazing an wonderful people I have in my life.

Thank you for reminding me I used to be a little bit embarrassing.

But most of all, thank you for showing me how to truly appreciate my life, and thank you for reminding me that even if I'm sad, I have so many great memories I can look back on. You see, a lot of people see social media as a bad thing, but I believe that social media can be a great thing. You can see how much you have accomplished and how much more you still have left to go, so thank you for reminding me that everyday is a new day to make good memories and accomplish new things.
