My friend and I were talking one afternoon about how hard it is to look at photos on Instagram and Facebook everyday and not feel a little envious of everyone else's life. Then we realized that if we just took a look at our own photos, people would feel the same way about our life. But we knew that was far from the real truth. Naturally we want to capture the best moments of life and put them up for the world to see. But if that is all we see then we will begin to get a distorted view of the world around us. I love the quote "be kind for everyone is fighting a hard battle." The truth behind the beautiful photographs we see of others lives (and our own) on the screens of our phones is that there is another story weaving through the beauty. And that story is one of pain, disappointment and imperfection. We all have it and can feel so alone in that part of our story. So this is where our idea for #truthtuesday originated. Let's share the imperfect, less shiny parts of our lives on Tuesdays so we can slowly learn that we are in this life together- the good, bad and all that lies between. Be brave next Tuesday. It really does feel good.
