*Serious Face alert* šĀ
Donāt worry if you think that your life doesnāt look as āgoodā as half the ones we see on social media šø.
Iāve 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, Iāve no desire necessarily to put the sad or the bad bits in. Itās my personal choice.
But itās really important to acknowledge that thatās what Instagram often is - the āgoodā bits - for me, I hope my feed is sometimes interesting, a bit of fun, possibly sometimes encouraging to others (I hope!), but itās NOT the whole person or life.
So donāt be worried if you feel like youāre not some super hero invincible person like all the fabulousness šĀ we see on some insta profiles - no one really is like that - not full time anyway! If they were it would be soooo exhausting Iām sure šĀ
And that doesnāt 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 - itās part of what gets me through the other stuff that I donāt bother putting on here. šĀ
And if anyone I know ever wants to talk to me about the other stuff, Iām always here and ready to listen - donāt think Iām too insta-happy! šŖĀ
Keep running team šŖšĀ š
