Hello Insta!

My Instagram is all of people I know. These are people my age, which is around twenty. I know them from school, college etc. I do not follow any celebs, a few bloggers, travel accounts and that’s it. So my Insta feed is mostly about the life of people my age. But I do not relate to all that I see.

The crux of maximum feed that I see is this virtual conformation. People want to portray a life that someone would see and wish to have. Rarely people show the side that is vulnerable and real. And I can totally understand this.

We were the generation who saw the transformation from real to virtual self. Hence this weird conflict of understanding our true self and problem of portraying the ‘real me’ in the world of filters!

A part of me I don’t express online is the one that isn’t into food. I eat because I have to. There isn’t any other way. But the majority that I see love food. I have an issue understanding this part of me because I can’t see someone going through something similar.

I am learning to love food but I can’t see someone sailing in the same boat.

However I like when I see people do what they love. From bakery to biking, from hiking to designing, and so much more. It is so inspiring to see people put in efforts to keep doing and getting good at things of their interest. It helps me push my limits too.

I do not drink anything but my Breezer Cranberry and I don’t smoke anything at all. Half of the weekend feeds and even a few weekday feeds is about smoking up and being drunk dead somewhere. This is where I struggle to relate to people, I somewhere in this aspect don’t even wish to try.

The majority that inspire me the most are the ones who stand up for something they truly believe in. I am scared to give an opinion on some trending topic because of the trash that people can give you online.

But in spite having this same fear there are people in my feed who get up and stand up for what they believe in. I can do this in the real world, I’ll hopefully do it in the virtual world soon.

I am a morning person. And in three years of college I didn’t meet a single person in any project group who ever loved working in the morning like I do. I really feel this is like a problem with me and not people my age.

This is what I got from my Instagram feed, what does your feed tell you?
