Your couple crush has a couple crush
I could name this post social media is not the real deal, but I settled for this catchy one, hope you enjoy reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I might be right or wrong, but my generation loves to live life as seen on social media. They think everything is rosy and cozy, and once it doesn't work as they envisioned or as they see online, they call it quits. They end it and go their separate ways.

At work, we look at our friends and classmates and expect our jobs to be as nice as theirs, forgetting that all we see on the gram or on their snap is just a glimpse of their workplace and colleagues. We all have different paths in life so own yours and walk diligently in it. Focus on your work and get rewarded accordingly.

Relationship hmmm, don't go there everyone has a couple crush/goal, "even your couple crush has a couple crush".
Sister girl and brother man, no one tells you what they must deal with and let go. You don't know how many times they forgive each other daily.

No one tells you they had a heated argument minutes before sending that lovely snap you took a screenshot of, I mean, the one you hope you and bae can be someday soon.
Girl, no one is going to tell you how much they sacrifice to be together when the world comes crumbling at their feet, so please stop dreaming about Mr. and Mrs. XYZ and start building your dream home from ABC.

On family, girl, we all have responsibilities. Don't think our families have no turns and twists, so man up and stop complaining about yours. Don't think we talk to all our uncles, aunties, cousins, and what have you.
No, fam, you see, what you have on social media is the rose. No one shows you the thorn. You know the beauty and wish for it if only you saw the ashes.
I repeat, run your race and leave everyone on social media to do their thing. It is social media; it is not the real deal.
PS: This ain't personal.
