A casual coffee shop convo turned into a therapy session. A younger acquaintance looked at me and said:
“Your Instagram is too perfect. I want to see the mess.”
At first, I laughed it off… then I realized it wasn’t about me at all. It was about what we’re all craving — connection, imperfection, and proof we’re not the only ones holding it together with popcorn and mint chocolate chip.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by the highlight reel, this one’s for you.
