Looking back at my first viral tweet from 2018
Back in 2018, I posted a simple photo of my dog looking confused at a deflated birthday balloon. It got maybe 10 likes. I reposted it last year with a more specific caption about 'post-party melancholy' and it blew up, getting over 50,000 retweets. The strategy shift was all about framing a relatable moment with an emotional hook. Has anyone else had an old post go viral years later after changing the context?

My old tweets are just sad without context.

Oh man, @skylerb15 I feel that so hard. Honestly I just went through my old stuff last month and it was brutal. What helped me was reading them out loud to a friend, and we just laughed at how serious I was about nothing. Tbh it makes you see how much you've changed, which is kinda nice.

Forget laughing, those old words show who you really were.
