When we were younger our teachers asked us to write them. Sometimes you were given a topic, other times you were given a series of pictures and asked to develop a story based on the images shown.
We are older now; no one is asking us to write compositions but we are still choosing to do. We scroll through social media looking at images of people’s lives and we begin composing, developing stories based on the snippets we see.
Yet like our young selves we are heavily using our imagination. We do not know what is truly going on in someone’s life; we don’t know the life between the pictures.
Give yourself some mental space. Enjoy the pretty pictures but recognise what you see is not the full story and do not use these images to cast judgement upon your own life.
