Context
Imagine waking up with a new superpower: photographic memory. Every moment you’ve lived, stored perfectly in your mind. No filters. No edits. Just real memories, ready to be felt and shared. But there's a twist…
Some memories don’t belong to just one person. They’re woven between people and are stitched together by laughter, tears, or something unspoken. But when we choose to revisit or share them with others, whose permission are we asking? Memories are delicate things, and when they’re shared, they deserve care, respect, and consent. Because a moment shared without permission isn’t connection, it’s a boundary crossed.
PRoblem
Today, while modern social media platforms are effective in creating instant connections and sparking new relationships, they often promote superficial, hyper-curated content. Users tend to share their best moments, creating picture perfect highlight reels that don’t accurately reflect the full authentic human experience. Over time, this contributes to feelings of isolation and disconnection despite being digitally “connected” across apps.
Social Media Damages Mental Health
Recent studies show that increased use of social media causes us to be lonelier and more self critical.
Connection Allows us to Thrive
Close relationships support our well-being, confidence and give us a support system. Its important to maintain these relationships during time apart.
Loneliness is on the Rise
Surveys report that 64.7% of college students report they feel lonely and 51.7% of college students are concerned about their friends’ mental health.
