Oh, @honeydue, I relate to this frustration. Friends have taken to migrating from Facebook to Instagram (for reasons unclear but if it's to escape Facebook, they're not doing so at Instagram.) And while connecting with loved ones is the main reason I'm on social media, I've no desire to see a series of perfectly-staged images that reflect only the most photogenic moments of their lives, often featuring made-for-Insta food props (or worse, human-props.)

I try to offer a slice of life in my social media sharing. Yep, there are cool things in this life. And struggles. And sometimes my lunch looks like an elegantly-layered salad jar. And sometimes it looks like broken tortilla chips. And all of this is okay.
