Damn Facebook lives, anyway.
I mean, who can possibly live up to the hype and expectations? How is it not okay to share how life really is? Especially since we all know that life is not really like our Facebook lives.
Everyone falls prey to wanting that unfiltered happiness and sunshine. We don't want sadness and disappointment. Here's the thing: if we don't know and experience the lows, then how do we know what sunshine-y happiness is like? How do we know what joy feels like? If we don't let ourselves feel, really really feel that low, and know that it will pass and it will get better, then we don't know how to experience the full spectrum of emotions and feelings. And we don't know that we can indeed recover from those despairingly low lows.
I don't even know if I wish I had my Facebook life. I mean, it isn't normal to have smiles and happy happy happy all of the time. If we know it isn't real, then why do we share only that? Let's keep it more real, folks. Let's let our Facebook lives match what really happens; Facebook lives equal real lives.
Do it for your own peace of mind, and genuine emotion-filled happiness.
Do it as a real-life example for your kids, too.
