Burn After Reading -

We backup our phones to the cloud. We archive our emails. We screenshot conversations “just in case.” Every half-formed thought, grocery list, and passive-aggressive tweet is preserved for eternity on a server somewhere.

The moment you show someone, the idea becomes a performance. You start defending it. You start caring if they think it’s smart or crazy. The fire only works if the reading is private. Some truths are only for you. And some truths are only for the moment. Burn After Reading
