'Facebook memories is giving me FOMO for my old life'
Every morning on Facebook, I’m on holiday – posing in warm hotel swimming pool wearing stupid goggles with my friend Caz. Or squashed into a booth in the Wetherspoons closest to my old office, clutching warming bottles of £14.95 prosecco – and my friends. Or in a club, ‘side-fringe’ slicked to my face and eyes slightly unfocused as I bear hug my friend, on her hen do.
It’s starting to feel like Facebook memories is trolling me – it’s a constant reminder of life before lockdown. To get through recent months, I feel like many of us have had to revel in the smallness of our world – we’ve just had to ‘lean in’ to the knowledge that yes we’re here, but we’re all here, everyone is doing this.
You can taste, smell and feel that moment viscerally. And it feels in huge contrast to what you’re living right now. There’s also that matter of it always being a highlights reel. ‘They just make me feel nostalgic,’ says Becky. ‘But then that’s no different to normal really – they always make you think of the good times gone by, because you rarely post about the shit stuff!’
