*Serious Face alert* đÂ
Donât worry if you think that your life doesnât look as âgoodâ as half the ones we see on social media đž.
Iâve chatted with both offline and online friends in the last few weeks, some of whom many could think might have it all from their social media - but who are experiencing real difficulties and problems in life, just like anyone else.
Personally, I think of insta like a sort of traditional photo album, one of those old fashioned things some of us used to have - you put your best pics in it, Iâve no desire necessarily to put the sad or the bad bits in. Itâs my personal choice.
But itâs really important to acknowledge that thatâs what Instagram often is - the âgoodâ bits - for me, I hope my feed is sometimes interesting, a bit of fun, possibly sometimes encouraging to others (I hope!), but itâs NOT the whole person or life.
So donât be worried if you feel like youâre not some super hero invincible person like all the fabulousness đ we see on some insta profiles - no one really is like that - not full time anyway! If they were it would be soooo exhausting Iâm sure đÂ
And that doesnât mean people are fake - for me, I really want to share the joy that running with my friends or in beautiful scenery gives me, and that joy is VERY real - itâs part of what gets me through the other stuff that I donât bother putting on here. đÂ
And if anyone I know ever wants to talk to me about the other stuff, Iâm always here and ready to listen - donât think Iâm too insta-happy! đȘÂ
Keep running team đȘđ đ
