Remember that those successful people whom you’re following (including ourselves) still have plenty of problems. It’s just more fun to write about how awesome life is than to share the sucky parts—especially on social media where your friends are watching. It’s embarrassing to write “I’m doing yoga on the beach in Bali, but after a few months it’s not that great, and I want to go back to a job where I see friends every day and can rely on a stable salary.”
