Early instagram era vs Instagram now feels like two different worlds

I miss when Instagram felt like people documenting their lives instead of presenting them.

Early Instagram was:
blurry concert photos, random screenshots, memes, posting 11 pictures from the same night, terrible filters, exaggerated editing, chaotic captions,inside jokes nobody else understood.

Now every post feels optimized. Every photo is curated. Every caption sounds self-aware and performative. Every person feels like a personal brand.

Social media used to feel like “look what happened.”
Now it feels like “look who I am.”

It was a lot more authentic and raw.

Maybe that’s why old Instagram feels so nostalgic.
It was messier, but people felt more real.

Have you felt this too???

Do you ever feel like certain places hold emotional memories in the air?

Do you ever feel like certain places hold emotional memories in the air?

Sometimes I’ll walk into a place and instantly feel something I can’t explain. Not even a specific memory — just a feeling.

Like the space remembers a version of life that happened there.

Could be an old street, a hallway, a café, even a certain type of evening light.

It’s strange how places can stay emotionally familiar long after moments are gone.

Does anyone else feel that?

My wife took this photo today and said "I finally understand"

She said she finally understands what a liminal space is. I was so proud of her. She even said that she felt like it wasn't a good photo cuz she didn't clean off her camera and all that before she took it. But honestly I saw a photo and I thought it was a great photo. Perfectly describes the idea for me. Funny enough, I used to work in this building and it was absolutely packed with people all the time and it is very strange to see it empty now.
