“Why do you share photos” I love traveling. The answer to why we love traveling may vary, but to me traveling is a way to relax, broaden my horizon and really learn. Learning is a strong reason because through experiencing unfamiliar things results in learning new skills, knowledge and ultimately expands my horizon. Meanwhile, traveling allows me to take a lot of good pictures.

Most of my posts are pictures taken during my journey. These pictures are either about expressing emotions, happy or sad, or simply just pictures of famous tourist attractions. However, whether a picture is depicting a mood or scenery does not matter, what matter is that all of these are related to me. I express my feelings

When I first posted my pictures, I was not expecting others to “like” or “share” them, yet when people “like” my pictures, I feel that other people know how I feel, and agree with me. This feeling creates a sense of belonging. Although I don’t care about “likes” that much, it would be better to have a few rather than none. “like” and “share” let me feel the acknowledgement, which serves as an incentive for me to post pictures. However, if we care too much about what other people say, social media no longer help us but hurt us, sometimes even causing people’s lives.

Moments provides a platform where I can post whatever I want while not being worried about what other people think of me. Just like the name “moments”, it is meant to be the moments that are highlights in life and thus worth capturing.

No doubt, parents want their children to have the best education, live a better life. In order to make this happen, parents need to invest a lot of money. This is the main reason why parents work hard every day. One of my friends’ father is a manager in a big company. He thought that he had provided his child with a good quality of life until his child went to a primary school. When he added other parents’ WeChat, he saw how other parents can take their children to expensive stores, travel, attend after-school classes. He immediately felt that he has been defeated by other parents. He said: “I feel sorry for my daughter. I am suffering insomnia.” He became to get a bad temper, not talking to his daughter, which results in the father-daughter relationship begins to collapse. We can say that “moments” ruined a happy family indirectly. This leads to a serious question: are all the posts real? In order to get a basic understanding, I chatted with my former teacher in local school. She
