I once read a post on instagram where someone was showing a beautiful picture of themselves and the caption read “ no bad days”. It bother me a lot. I wanted to comment a few things, 1. What is wrong with having bad days? 2. Are you a robot with no feelings, perfect that you are able to have only good days?
We are often sucked into this bubble that social media is creating, good positive and only amazing fabulous things are allowed to be posted on instagram. Don’t you dare post if you are having financial problems, or if you had a sad day. I guess its very nice to share the good moments with people, who wants to remember and share bad memories. I understand perfectly, but what this is creating is for people to feel like life is only good if you are perfect like the others. We are forgetting everyone has bad days too.
Before I used to be so upset if I was having a bad day or if I was feeling sad. I would always fight against it, I would try to change it so it could be a good day. But lately I have been learning to just go with the flow. It is ok if one day you feel sad and don’t feel like doing anything. For me is a way of my body telling me; hey slow down a little, take a breath, rest. You need to listen to your body more often and let it be. Or I have learned is ok if not everything goes the way I wanted, there are other days and getting frustrated with me will only make things worst.
For example, yesterday I bent down to pick up something and when I tried standing up I could not! My back started hurting so bad, I got a muscle spasm just like that. I know is not as simple as it sounds, I have a herniated disk and once a year this happens out of nowhere. I really haven’t been exercising much lately, it was probably because I have been very stressed. Usually I would be really upset, because is not a nice situation, its sad to be stuck in bed for a few days, but now I just accept it. I go through instagram stories and I want to be working out like all those girls in shape working out everyday, but I need to accept we all have good and bad days, and is ok.
So to end this post I just want to say lets be more honest in our posts, share the good and the bad. Lets encourage each other and be more transparent of how our life really is.
