With every photo, every status, every thought we share and memory we hold onto in some form or another, we document our lives. But why do we do it and who is it really for — ourselves, or for everyone else? In this episode of PROXY, we try to identify the difference between documenting your life and simply living it, and if they're really any different at all.
