Insta-Perfect

Written by: Abeeda

This life, it coaxes us into chasing its mirage.

So many of us will fail to see our reality,
because the falsehood we chase seems so much more appealing.

In this age of social media,
we have lost the ability to be real.

Even when someone displays their vulnerability, it is edited and drafted, and touched up to be “perfectly acceptably vulnerable”.

We judge, we analyze, we are never satisfied.

We got lost in the chase, and found ourselves lost.

We forgot what mattered most, we forgot to be real.
