It's not that life is bad right now. In fact, other than my financial limitations it is actually fairly good. But, it is not complete and memories from a time I was living a full life have been triggering a mixture of emotions. I feel happiness recalling the occasion. I feel a touch of sadness I am missing that in my current life. And then some resentment at the inability at being unable to have that now.

I was on top of the world 5 years ago and this time exactly then I was on quite a happy and exciting adventure. I am being bombarded with photos of such. Aaaaaarg!
I just close them out as they appear with out even taking the time to read them. when they show up they are clearly marked so you know that they are things that have been posted before so with out even reading them its easy to close them out.

Also a tool I use for me is that I periodically go through my timeline and delete any posts that I no longer want on my facebook time line. its easy to do. just click on your name at the left of the home page where they list your name edit profile and your posts. and then work your way down your page deleting non relevant to today posts and any other posts you no longer want posted on facebook.

this way only the memories (past posts) that you want to show up will.

I go through my posts on a monthly basis cleaning them out. Most of my friends and family dont look beyond that days status posts anyway lol
