#nofaking

I just spent a few minutes scrolling through Instagram and I am just done with the posed and curated videos. Talking about being a strong woman or any other aspirational concept, while drinking tea on a patio at sunset on a beach? I’m done with it. The truth is, when I look at still photos from the people I know/follow, I see all sorts of realness. The minute I click on something with sound and video, I end up being shown all sorts of content from people I’ve never heard of before, and they’re all pretending to be rich... and they show a different “outfit” every day, a ridiculous and earth-damaging waste. Some people take pictures of themselves in new clothes at stores so they don’t have to buy them, while pretending they own them). So they’re being ultimately fake and pretending that it’s normal to have disposable clothes. This is what I looked like this morning before I had my 1st cup of tea. I am every bit as strong a woman as I need to be. I’m not curated. I am equally creative, loving and distractible. I have a messy head and I am wearing a shirt I have owned for at least a decade and worn dozens and dozens of times. It’s fraying at the edges and it still does the job. #ProudOutfitRepeater #LetsBeReal #NoFaking #ThisIsWhatMorningLooksLike #NoFilters #NoMakeUp #IAmOver60 #RealnessMatters #AuthenticityForTheWin https://www.instagram.com/p/CdG7YmYpmJs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
