Had a comment on my instagram feed today to the effect: “you are always in beautiful places = your life is awesome”
This is interesting.
Heads up: I only post what I think is beautiful, interesting or amusing. I find cakes, Lego and sunsets get the most love (anecdotally).
My feed is a construct. I edit it. I don’t want you to see my ice addict neighbours, their staffies and 5 Holden Commodores.
Coupla reasons why: that image doesn’t fit my image of myself (how’s that for honesty?) and I am also deliberately trying to highlight good things about Frankston in particular because it gets enough bad press by itself. And that message perpetuates.
So…keeping that in mind, my life is not always awesome. It is pretty darn good at times but that’s also down to what I choose to pay attention to. Hells, sometimes I whack a filter over the top to make it even better!
I might institute ugly Monday where I just post something really awful….just to keep it real.
Cherish the mundane!
