Now, I'm not the biggest proponent of Facebook, nor am I a big proponent on living in the past. Neither focus you on the future and on creating the most of the here and now to build the accomplishments in life you want for yourself. However, part of growing is reflecting. In order to determine who you want to become you need to understand who you are now and from where you've come. Given the fact that Facebook save well, everything, it's a good place to start.
I went through my last 4-year history when I asked myself, "Who was this girl four years ago? Have I changed much into the person I thought I would be?" It was a fun little exercise. Some of the posts made me laugh, others brought me joy, some reminded me of things and events I had completely forgotten, and a few even reminded me to hope. If you use Facebook strategically, and not as a platform to word-vomit all of your unhappinesses and complaints, then Facebook can be a tool for good and for informing those you don't see often about your life.
If you are said word-vomiter....maybe it's time to re-evaluate your life. How is it going? Are you bringing into your life that which you wanted? (I'm going to guess probably not, since you output into the universe is negative).
So take a few minutes and browse through your own history. See where you've been and if you're on the path you had set out for yourself originally. It's okay if you're not, but this'll give you a chance to re-evaluate which path is the right one for you: the one you had envisioned a few years ago, or the one you are on now. Reassessing can help you decide how to best realign yourself and create the life you want.
....so that when you look back again in another four years, you'll see the footprints of a person with a vision. :)
