It's not much of a secret to begin with but I would like to think it's not that bad... My life...clearly is not instagrammable at all. As in yes I do go out and I do eat good food, I meet friends and I have fun with them (quite often) but it just seems like everyone is living a much better life on instagram. I can never do and have never done candid photos of me and G lovingly looking at each other . Clearly all anyone ever does is THAT.
I can't take good pictures of food and post them online, I keep forgetting. When there's a hot plate of yummy food in front of me I wouldn't want to disrespect it by wasting time clicking pictures of it, getting the angle and the lighting and the zoom right. No. That's the thing about food. It demands to be eaten. (I went there)
Vacations. When I was touring around in Europe like there was no tomorrow I didn't have an Instagram account. I didn't have a smartphone and I didn't go around flashing my touristy life at everyone. At that point I was naive enough to think that it is wrong to do so and that doing so would take the pleasure away from the travelling. NOW I wish I could redo all that. I wish I was touring around right now.
There is no point to this rant.
I wonder if it's a good idea to just withdraw from all social media. I wonder if I'm capable of doing that. Just withdraw from social media, just stay away and be distant, not care about any one else's life. I don't know if that makes me a better person but it definitely makes me happier when I don't have to feel guilty about feeling jealous about someone's picture perfect life.
