Is social media making you sad? There’s a good chance it might have something to do with it.
Everyone looking all happy and successful, with perfect children and perfect marriages…on perfect trips in perfect cars with perfect friends who give perfect advice and the perfect gift for no reason.
We have to know all that is only a very small part of someone’s real life. We have to know everyone struggles. And we have to know just because not everyone’s likes to advertise those things, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
So don’t be sad. Don’t feel inadequate or behind, and don’t feel left out. You can feel happy for someone else without feeling sad for yourself when you remember just because it didn’t make it to the highlight reel of social media doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Your life doesn’t suck. You’re just on social media too much.
