I love that the piece touches on how trends like these highlight a different side of social media, one that unites us in our shared longing, instead of making us feel isolated or inadequate. It’s the ordinary, often overlooked moments in life, the routines, the simple gestures that suddenly shimmer with meaning when we find them again. More than nostalgia, these captured images create an illusion of present tense, reminding us that those we miss might still be out there in some parallel snapshot of time. And even if it’s just a digital ghost, I love how it can be a powerful comfort, a reminder that love endures well beyond the boundaries of the analogue.
