This really shows how easy it is to get caught up in the illusion of perfection, only to have reality slap us in the face harder when the illusion fades.

It’s like a cruel joke. The more we escape, the worse it feels when we're forced to face our unfiltered selves again.

It really makes you wonder how much technology is amplifying this cycle in real life, especially with the filters and digital personas we craft online.
