I keep performing happiness online while feeling empty offline

0 support0 reactions0 replies
Every photo I post gets likes and little hearts, and people tell me my life looks amazing. But the second I put the phone down, the room goes quiet and so do I. I've gotten so good at editing the highlight reel that I barely recognise the person behind it. Does anyone else feel like they're maintaining a brand of themselves instead of actually living?
