Goddess

I recently had a comment left on one of my instagram pictures & it sort of annoyed me.

Granted, I'm probably just a bit irritable at the moment because "you know who" is coming back for another monthly visit.

Anyway, a follower left me a comment that said "Your life looks so perfect, why can't my life be this perfect. I would be much happier if I could do all the things you do." Don't get me wrong, that's the downside with running a blog as well as having a public social media platform - you open yourself up to people having a certain perception of who you are, as well what your life is like. I remember back when I blogged my daily adventures, religiously - a number of my followers would comment on how my life looked perfect and how they wished that they could have it as easy as I did because my photos showed "perfection". That's the thing though, a photo is real but it's just a small insight into someones actual reality.

I guess that's the bad thing, as humans we automatically assume that the person with the biggest smile means that they are the happiest when in fact they might be the saddest. I guess that's the same when it comes to following someone via social media. We assume based on what they show.

In all fairness though, it's hard not to.

I want readers of this blog to know in advance, I am far from perfect, my life itself is far from perfect.To be honest, majority of my time is spent at work because I work Monday to Friday - full time. My weekends involve a lot of catching up with cleaning and once all those tedious chores are done, then I have the luxury of spending time with my girlfriend & our friends.

Outside of all that, it's some what boring.

I'm sorry if you've come to read my usual posts where I tell you what I've been doing. This post is some what of a downer and it's because I've been feeling down. This is due to the fact that I was forced to close a lot of doors on people that I thought would always be considered "friends". It doesn't do anyone any good to dwell on the past, I know that, but the wounds are still fresh and I'm only starting to believe that it's ok to no longer have these people in my life. The hardest one to let go of though is was my best friend. I think I'll mourn the loss of her for a very long time.

As per usual, all the photos from the past week/weekend are below. Enjoy my loves.
