Like I do a lot of stuff in my free time but never take pictures of it so my social media makes me seem boring...I'm usually too busy to think about posting shit to facebook I never take pictures either. My girlfriend and I are pretty much the happiest couple on Earth but we rarely take pictures together and have literally never posted them to social media. I always assume that couples who post a lot of photos together are secretly unhappy, because otherwise they wouldn't need external validation. It's a whole other level of sad when people post pictures of themselves doing things alone as proof that they're happy. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. <cite>SpiralDrift posted [p:910900958] in I kind of ...
