When you look at social media, it can seem that life is one big party and everyone is invited to it, because their life looks like that. But in reality, no one’s life looks like that.
Just as mannequins model perfect bodies in shopping-mall display windows, polished pictures can seem to model perfect lives in the display windows of the online world.
The conclusion is simple: just as most of us do not look like the mannequins in physical display windows, so too our lives do not look like the curated images. It is worth reminding ourselves of that from time to time. We can simply enjoy an ordinary day.
