Before smartphones were as big as they are now, people documented their entire lives with real cameras. They carried them around literally everywhere. Editing softwares weren’t as popular as they are now, so people just took pictures and uploaded all of them without a second thought.
Enough time has passed to know well enough that the internet really is forever and whatever you upload, most likely, you’ll never be able to get down. The result is cringey photos that you see and can’t even remember what was crossing your mind back then, probably nothing.
Remember, the internet never forgets and neither will you.
