People tend to post on social media things that make their life look perfect. It's all about image. They will post pictures showing them holding hands with their significant other, hugging at some party, hanging out with friends, laughter spreading around the room, drinks in their hand, kids in tow, and having what appears to be the perfect life that everyone wants.

Do you think people really believe your bullshit?

So many people utilize social media to make their friends jealous. They want their neighbors, friends, coworkers and relatives to think they have everything life could offer. They have the nice house, the nice cars, the perfect beautiful kids and they have everything God could bless them with. But what the friends, neighbors, coworkers and friends don't see is what goes on behind closed doors. So many times married couples sleep in different rooms. They barely carry on a conversation between themselves. The relationship they have with the kids is perfect as long as the kids get what they want for holidays, birthdays and the good report card. But when the kids go off to school, they graduate and go off to college, they grow up and move on, the relationship that once wasn't still isn't.

The married couple resides in the same house as nothing more than roommates, they still on occasion post that "perfect" picture of hanging out with friends, the kids coming home to visit, going on vacation, spending time at the relatives house, and making it look like all the years down the road they still have the life everyone envies and everyone wants. But does anyone really buy it? Do you think that people really believe your bullshit?

People like to use social media to brag about their new car. They like to use social media to brag about their perfect job. They like to use social media to brag about their fat bank account. They like to use social media to talk about the life they think everyone wants. They talk about the new boat they bought, some expensive toy, a new cell phone, a brand new gun, a vacation house or somewhere they are going on a boat to the middle of the ocean. But the minute they get off social media, they go back to the same humdrum of their life. They don't talk to the person living in their house. They don't have the same hobbies. They don't share the same sleep habits. They don't know how to have a normal conversation between the two. They don't even know what to talk about. And then at the end of the night, many times they go sleep in another bedroom, lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and wonder what's going on. But if you were to read earlier that afternoon on one or the other social media page, you'd be envious of what appears to be the perfect life they lead and all the happiness in the world they have that you'd love.

But do you really think people believe your bullshit?

When you sit in front of your computer, your laptop or you're on your cell phone or tablet posting those pictures, even you want to believe that your life is great. Even you want to believe that you have what everyone wants. But if you take a moment to think about it, you'll be shocked to know you can't remember the last time you shared a bed. You'll be shocked to know you can't remember the last time you had sex. You can't remember the last time your other half gave you a hug, gave you a kiss or held your hand in a movie theater. You can't even remember the last time you just said, "hey, let's go out together" and actually have an enjoyable evening. But the minute you get back on social media? You have the life that you think everyone envies and the life everyone wants.

Do you really think people believe your bullshit?

It is so easy to post on social media to hide your pain. You can talk about your life at home. You can talk about your marriage. You can talk about your kids. You can talk about yourself. It's all about image. You don't want people to know you're miserable and dying inside. You don't want people to know your relationships or marriage sucks. You don't want to let on that you aren't happy and what you're living in is nothing more than convenient. It's easy. The money is there. The nice house is there. You drive a nice car. Your other half can afford all those expensive toys. And the kids don't do without. And you go post something expensive, impressive and pictures of that perfect lifestyle that you think everyone wants to lead. But when you sit back, click "post" and look at your perfect life appear in front of you, all you can do is sit there and sigh. You want it to be true. You know others will be reading your story. They will be seeing your pictures. They will be sharing your life. But the question is this:

Do you really think people believe your bullshit?

Social media makes it easy to appear to have a perfect life. It lets people see your perfect house. It lets people see the perfect married pictures that you post. It lets people see your amazing kids. It lets everyone see your awesome job. It lets them see your accomplishments, be jealous of your fantastic boat trip to the middle of somewhere that leads to the middle of nowhere. And it lets people see the important stuff. It lets them see what YOU want them to see. It doesn't let them see the truth.

Social media doesn't let them see two people sitting at a table without a word to say. It doesn't show the pictures of a couple not being able to carry on a conversation. It doesn't show the unhappiness and misery that goes on in a silent house. It doesn't show a couple not going out together. It doesn't show the pictures of one having friends the other doesn't know. It doesn't show the picture of one not telling the other what they are doing. It doesn't show the reality of life. The unhappiness of the days. And the convenience of a relationship that has been long over but neither person is able to speak the truth to the other and get on with their life.

Social media shows perfection. It shows happiness. It shows family pictures. It shows the perfect kids. It shows the expensive trips. It shows the brand new car. It shows the lifestyle that everyone wants to live. But after you hit post, you have to ask yourself an important question.

Do you really think people believe your bullshit?

Social media is what you want it to be. It shows people the life you want them to think you lead. But what it doesn't show them? The truth.
