They said in the newspaper that a study revealed that social sharing made events 

real. 

How unreal we must feel in our feelings or how unjustified? That to make them REAL we need to have someone affirm it for us... Almost like living for a later date...Living as a documentation or proof of having lived...waiting for a witness...waiting for a judge to allow us to embody it...

How unseen we must feel in our lives in general for this to be...how lonely and empty... How did we come to be this way? Perhaps by being too non-existent in the eyes of those who we wished cared for our existence. Perhaps we learnt early on that it is better to be hidden and be seen only in parts. 

reminds me of photographers at weddings whom we don't even know, who don't even know us to guide every move so it looks a certain way to the world and to us...

The wish to be seen is a powerful wish. The wish to be seen in a certain way is a very dangerous wish! It edits us. Makes us too unreal, non-existent, empty , not there...It's a murder with no haunting.
