Instagram is your life curated. And more often than not, people are curating in order to make their food look amazing, their days seem interesting, their lives appear coherent. Even the “fail” posts on social media are humble-brags (“6am workout this morning was a DISASTER!”) or they’re endearing failures (“Mom’s birthday cake turned into a hot mess #backupplan”). What happened in your life over the past seven days that didn’t make it onto social media? (Because you thought posting it would make people think something about you that you wouldn’t want them to think.) I didn’t watch any sunrises last week. And I didn’t hilariously #epicfail set my kitchen on fire while cooking either. I’ll tell ya this, though. I developed a mystery rash/grouping of bumps on both my forearms. I have no idea if it was from doing yard work or what. Just appeared. Kinda itchy. I hope it goes away soon on its own and doesn’t get grosser. I’m a little embarrassed about it. That’s it. Fire up that new app, Average-gram! Because, all sarcasm aside, I think it would be a lot healthier for all of us to know and see that life for everyone else also is messy and unremarkable and doesn’t make for a good picture or a fun story all the time. What would I see on your honestly behind-the-scenes social media platform of choice?
