I was going to update on life, but before I do I wanted to write about something really quick. I've been thinking about social media latley. What I've been thinking about is the persona of perfection. When I started using Instagram when it first came out years ago, it was just that. An instant snapshot of what you were doing in the moment. As the years have passed it's used much more for advertising and a way to "show off." While this is not ever each and every single user, it is a huge number. Most recently I've noticed pictures of women who have just had babies. They're posing with the perfect outfit, hair, make-up ext. It's just weird to me. I remember having my babies obviously and it was really HARD work! My body didn't just bounce back, I was way too tired to wear makeup. To be honest, I wire maternity clothes post partium for a few weeks. That's just not what is being presented. That's just one example of I'll affects of social media and trying to impress others.
I'm going to upload some pictures of me with my newborns, just so you can see what I'm talking about. I mean I was never feeling ugly or yucky. I just was tired, and wasn't thinking much about looking back at the pictures and what people might think.
