Social media is a pretty fun place. You can connect with your closest friends or strangers from across the world. But there's one thing about social media that isn't so fun: the fact that it has conditioned everyone to only post the very best times of life.
Seeing other people's best moments can easily make us start the comparison game. That's not fair to ourselves! We're only getting half of their story, yet we're comparing ourselves as if it's their whole story.
Let's reverse this trend. Let's start a movement to encourage people to share their whole story. Encouraging each picture to capture what real life is like. The messy kitchens, the mismatched socks and the no-makeup faces.
The next time you think about straightening all the pillows on your couch JUST so it looks good in a picture, think again. Instead, can you post a picture of your perfectly-out-of-place pillows? It might also inspire someone else to share things that are a little more real.
Tag your Instagram photos with #TellYourWholeStory to get the movement going.
