P.S. Im an Insta-Faker....

Class really got me thinking about how most social media is a frozen image of a false reality. I never realized how much I “lie” on the internet. Some may view it as an inner truth or desire.  However, I live about 88% of my Facebook. Lets start with my profile image… Can you say filtered? It’s  the third times a charm of the same image.  Next is my family… Only 3 of the people are actual blood relatives.  I have no clue who have of my friends are. I don’t really know if I want to know. My favorite music and artist are not even amongst the ones listed. My post are what I hope my life to look like. and don’t let me get started on my Instagram. So many poses of unreal moments. 
                But its crazy.. I love it!  I love my “fake” portrayal of my life.  I love stopping mid stride to snap a picture.  I love writing and posting statuses that embody my desires for my life. I love living this false life. If you could call it living at all.  I also don’t mind the fact that I may post something that I hope could become my reality.

The question of the day: Is there a line drawn in the sand of showing true self on social media and lying… I feel like there is  not a line as long as you are ok with facing the act that you could be faking face.
