Description
I still remember how I was sure that she was living her best life. I had no idea that she was blowing smoke and was actually faking most of her life. She used to upload pictures of her travel trips, romantic dinners, and luxurious cars on Instagram. The sarcastic truth was that everything she posted online was totally fake. If you looked closely, you can tell that things were not as they seemed. After a while, things became clearer. Her stories were made up and started to conflict with one another. Also, even if things were partially real, she would blow things out of proportion and add some spices to her stories trying her best to show off. She was literally full of it. However, doing so wouldn’t encourage people to stay close to her instead she would make them run away or use her. She must understand that being down to earth is not something to be shameful of. In fact, people are attracted to those who are genuinely humble but still confident. Also, she must remember the idiom that says “easy come, easy go”. That being said she must not rely on those superficial relationships because sooner or later they would actually fall apart and would eventually fail. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wafa-damlaj/message
