Instagram vs. Reality: Why My Weekend Looked Like Stick Figures

By Aanya Sharma | Published on December 02, 2025 | 0 0

💡 Key Takeaways

Social media says everyone is hiking in Switzerland. Meanwhile, I'm fighting a raccoon for a bagel. A hilarious look at the lies we scroll past.

Pics or It Didn't Happen (But Maybe It Shouldn't Have)

I opened Instagram. Everyone is in Tulum. Everyone is drinking matcha. Everyone is glowing.

The "Relaxing Bath" Aesthetic

Instagram: Candles, rose petals, a book. Reality: The water is too hot, I dropped the book in the tub, and I'm staring at a spider in the corner. Relaxing? No. Terrifying.

The "Healthy Meal Prep"

Instagram: Perfectly stacked Tupperware of quinoa and salmon. Reality: I made pasta. I ate the pasta out of the pot. I searched "is mold on cheese bad?" (It depends).

The Lesson

Stop comparing your Behind-the-Scenes footage to everyone else's Highlight Reel. And eat the pasta.
