Those photos above are from my instagram feed and I think they are really pretty. But here’s the thing. I think there is a little epidemic going on in the blogosphere and on social media. We get all these peeks into people’s lives, through the blog, through instagram, through facebook statuses and the like. And so we think we have the whole picture.
We don’t.
Teddy Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy” and I agree that it is one way we allow our joy to be stolen. So I picked up my camera and took two quick pics of what life really looked like in this moment, in this life. I didn’t stage it to make it look messier (haha) and often times, you would find it messier (although I have been doing significantly better in this new apartment). So…
Although I love for things to look pretty (especially with this 70% white scheme I have going on here), it’s impossible that my instagram feed is my life. Because I consider instagram to be little corners of my world, little peeks, not the whole picture. Let’s round out the whole picture, at least just a little bit.
Yeah that’s my desk when I am writing multiple blog posts and also painting my nails at the same time. P.S. How cute is that lamp? My nonna got it for me. But it’s right next to a present I need to bring to someone and bills I need to pay. You feel me? Real life. It invades. As it should.
