I am not actually trying
to fool anyone into
thinking I am fabulous.
In fact I am not scared
of posting the odd pic of
myself covered in vomit
now and then. But this
got me to thinking, why
are our Instagram and
Facebook lives a fairytale
version of our real lives?
I don't think anyone is
doing this on purpose,
I guess it's just the way
we are made, a built
in coping mechanism.
We cherish, remember,
commemorate and share
the good times and
forget the forgettable
times. As for the bad
times we do our best to
learn from and dismiss
them.
This is why no one takes
photos at funerals...
So from now on I
everyones Instagram and
Facebook feeds as a kind
of vision board for the
lives we all wished we
lived everyday. Because
lets be honest if we
actually posted pics of
the everyday it'd be one
hell of a different story
and quite frankly, it'd be
boring.
The moral of the
story: next time
you are sitting at home
scrolling through
Facebook or Instagram
marvelling at others
fabulousness and
wondering why your
life doesn't measure
up, remember: gym
gear, take out, love
handles, boring.
