I have always felt exactly the same way. Everyone has issues whether they are influencers, "models", famous, or every day Joe Bloggs. We all have times of happiness and times of sadness. The choice is there to be authentic or to only show a superficial slant of who you are and sure, I can understand that you don't want to splurge out every depressing aspect of your life, but to try persuade people that life is absolutely perfect all the time, well it's BS. This is why celebrities all seem fine and then have these insane moments or scandals or go off the rails completely - I think a lot of them can't handle having to live that façade continuously and it breeds discontent.

Authenticity comes at a price though - not everyone is going to like you, but if you like yourself, well who really cares what those people think? That's my take on it anyhow. Great post.
