Not everyone is as happy as they make themselves out to be on social media.
So next time you're beating yourself up for not doing as much as everyone else, remember that people only post the good. So I promise that when hardship comes your way, it's coming everyone else's way too.
Social media has an amazing way of making everything look perfect when it isn't.
The perfect couple fights constantly.
The perfect family doesn't speak at dinner.
The ultimate best friends secretly hate each other.
You are doing a lot better than you think that you are. The less you post the happier you'll be.
Life is more than what you put on your Instagram, and more than the likes you get or the followers you have.
People have yet to realize it and soon meaningful conversations won't exist.
Marriages will consist of Instagram posts, likes and text messages.
We are headed toward a cyber world where people don't actually speak to each other.
With all the apps available now, everyone is perfect. Perfect skin, perfect teeth, and perfect complexion.
There are a million ways to distort your features, and some of them make you unrecognizable in person. It's the perfect opportunity to trick and take advantage of people.
But funny enough, the perfect girl on Instagram, isn't 300 likes in person.
There are hashtags, and “No-Makeup Challenges" because people have to take photos and look good in them to get likes.
Friends I have get ready some days just to take the perfect selfie, and we are all guilty of it.
My parents and grandparents have taught me to write hand written cards, letters and thank you notes, because they are more meaningful than shooting someone a text that says “Thx"
Everyone hides behind this cyber wall, the things you say online, you would never say in person. It's so easy to hide behind your keyboard and type something mean, but would you have the guts to say what you're typing in person? Let's face it, probably not.
Social media is used as a weapon, whose life is more perfect? If you're not friends with someone anymore, it's a contest, who has more likes, who do people like more?
And when you're so called friend starts talking to your ex, and she's constantly uploading pictures of them together because she's actually really insecure about the relationship.
Everyone is so busy trying to use social media to prove they have so many friends but, when they actually look up; they realize that they're alone.
Social media, on the latter, is a very convenient way to connect with people, but it shouldn't rule our lives like it does now.
Text messaging and phone calls make our lives so much easier, but we've lost the meaning, and the conversation and the face to face, looking in your eyes.
People fall in love with person behind the screen not the person who's holding the phone.
Most relationships are texting relationships, giant messages of arguments, when if you spoke about it in person it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal.
Something your ex posts ruins your entire day, where when our parents and grandparents were young they would never see it.
You read too much into what people put on their social media when I guarantee they aren't as special as they look.
Wanting to share is a wonderful idea, but it doesn't have to be so picture perfect.
