Instagram Photos vs Real Life Photos

For a person looking from the outside of someones life on Instagram, it may seem that people are out there living lives lavishly. Eating all the best food, travelling the world, and having the time of their lives every weekend. While all you do is sit around being a spectator. well, all is not as it seems. People on social networks show you only what they want you to see. In most cases its a lie. A person will put up a picture of a bubble bath with candles where as in real life they are bathing in load shedding and the situation is not as pleasant as the picture. Lest have a laugh as we parallel reality and Instagram.

Gym –

The most common caption for a person who doesn’t even have gym membership. What they actually mean is “I’m  going for a jog”. There’s nothing wrong with living a simple life and keeping in shape the cheaper way.

Where as in REAL LIFE …..

Sunbathing –

We all know black people don’t sunbath. So why lie about t in the first place. The real reason why they end up “sunbathing” is because they got burnt by the sun walking 5km to the shop.

Where as in REAL LIFE…

Food –

Food pictures are everywhere on Instagram. The mere sight is enough to make you hungry right after you’ve had a meal. But not all food posted on Instagram is what’s currently on the plate.

Where as in REAL LIFE…

Partying –

Yes people might be out partying while you stay in and watch TV and your parents. But what they don’t post are pictures of them passed out and drunk afterwards.

Where as LATER THAT EVENING…..

Coffee pics –

Some people who post pictures of cups of coffee have never even had a cup cup of coffee with frosting.

Where as in REAL LIFE…

Thank god for filters –

Most people who use Intagram put filters on their pictures to enhance them. This is where lines such as “Instagram made me pretty” came from. Very few have the confidence  to post filter free pictures.
