The Ten Throwback Thursday Commandments


1. Thou shalt not #tbt selfies. It's one of the lowkey rules. With a few exceptions, it's kind of basic to post a selfie, if it's Thursday I want to see some serious nostalgia inducing photos, get creative.
2. Thou shalt not post pictures taken less than one month prior to #tbt date. You posted that same picture on Facebook, and a bunch of your Facebook friends follow you on Instagram so you're not looking at that many likes anyway. Also what's the point of posting a "throwback" where you look the same...?
3. Thou shalt not throw it back too far. No sonograms please, that died with the #tbt pics of sperm, and the "took this five minutes ago #tbt" pics, it's not funny anymore.
4. Thou shalt not #tbt on Tuesday, or any other day. Yes, people do this. I mean we all know the "t" stands for Thursday and Transformation Tuesday is it's own other time Instagram sets aside for us to be narcissistic, you know who you are, just stahhp.
5. Thou shalt not OD on #tbt pics. That means no sitting in front of family albums just for the sake of posting every cute picture you see of your(thy)self in the span of like twenty fucking minutes, doesn't matter care how cute you were.
6. Thou shalt not over do it with the throwback summer pics. Seriously, just because you looked good does not mean we, your followers, are trying to see your half naked body every other week.
7. Thou shalt not post #tbt pictures between the hours of 12am and 3am on Thursday. It sort of screams, "I've been waiting for this all week... got my filters/captions ready and everything" Please don't be that guy.
8. Thou shalt not post "#tbt" pictures between the hours of 12am and 3am on Friday. Even though people are still up and in the "it's still Thursday night" mindset.... you, my friend, are a cheater. P.S. Thursday comes every week. So if you missed your chance just wait it out a little, or at least have the decency to hashtag it "#flashbackfriday" instead!
9. Thou shalt not #tbt pictures of old flings and boyfriends/girlfriends with lame captions. If you miss them that much text them, call them, refriend them on Facebook, etc.
10. Thou shalt not over-filter #tbt photos. If you used to have a really bad haircut, we wanna see, if you used to look like godzilla, we won't judge, that much.

Took me a while to think of some of that stuff, but on that note, here are some of my Throwback Thursday highlights. (P.S. if you click the picture you can see it at a greater resolution) 
Thanks for readinggggg.
