When we scroll through Instagram, it seems like almost everyone is living their best life. Everyone’s hair looks perfect; everyone’s smiling, everyone’s children are well behaved… But I learned a long time ago that Instagram isn’t reality.
I still sometimes have to remind myself that there’s a lot more hiding behind those seemingly perfect lives, bodies, pets, children, travels, and meals. So, I made a little collection of posts that show what Instagram would look like if people were honest in the captions under those flawless images.

Just last night, I was having a conversation with my cousin about how addictive and dangerous social media can be if we use them excessively. If we let social media control us, it can ruin our self-esteem, and alter our views of the world and of our own lives.
