Photo of you, waking up in 'x' company bed linen #happy #newbedlinen 

Reality.

Actually, your own bed linen is drying up and as you have not had the spare one, you sneaked into flatmate's (who is currently travelling around the world) room and borrowed one of his. Hopefully he does not see this photo.

Photo of your toes in messy expensive-looking bed linen, next to the toes - plate of exotic fruits and freshly made coffee #wokeuplikethis #luxury #chemexcoffee 

Reality. 

Actually, after taking this you just spilled all that coffee (which was simple Paulig coffee which you've even forgotten that you have) all over the bed. Usually you do not eat or drink in bed as it is not really comfortable to sleep in the bed of crumbs. Exotic fruits in the pic are the only edible items in the house you could find currently. While taking the photo you wear old pajamas with huge holes in the armpits. As legs are not shaved, only toes could be seen in the pic.

Photo of you in Bali (Thailand/Phillipines/Maldives etc) having colorful breakfast in the middle of jungles. In the pic you see plenty of food, including eggs, fresh fruits and juices, mimosas, coffee and other stuff. Locally made bracelets hanging there on your tanned wrist #balilife #happyinasia #lovemylife #nevercomingback

Reality. 

Actually, some food on your table belongs to the other 10 people sitting next to you. They were ok to help your picture look adorable enough. However, as after 50th-iest attempt they get h-angry. That day you got poisoned from all those exotic fruits and vomited for 2 days. You got that nice tan after several sleepless nights as your skin was burning inside out. The tan peeled off before coming back home. Bracelet on your wrist, actually, was made in china. You knew that only when at home and you paid for it more than for 2 nights in hotel.

Photo of you, raising a glass of fancy looking cocktail with the Dubai skyscrapers in the background #happylife #yolo #mynewhome #traveltheworld #luxury

Reality.

Actually you just visiting your friend who just happened to marry rich but not really nice guy. You fell a bit jealous but hiding it good. After 5 glasses of cocktails your friend takes out the bottle of vodka to finish the night. Then friend starts to open and complain how her marriage is miserable and her husband is never home and travelling around the world with his buddies and other chicks. Next morning you are both hangover and it is really hot out there, even the cold water dos not help. You simply wanna go home. You are sad for your friend and yourself.

There is another pic of another exotic and far-away country you traveled to. It seems like it is the 6th country within 6 months #exploreasia #goodlife #lovetravelling #inspirational

Reality.

Actually, in order to travel you work in the job you dislike a lot at least 14 hours per day to save that bunch of money. You cannot quit as you need money for your rent. You cannot quit as you do not know where you could go next. You travel around in order to escape that job you have and work there in order to travel again. You travel on budget and when come back home you eat buckwheat you whole month.

Photo of nicely decorated table with deliciously looking salads and cake, some freshly squeezed juices #myboyfriendmadeit #healthyeating #delicious #lovemyboy

Reality.

Actually, salads were not really as good as you would think and the cake you bought yourself from mother Maxima. You ended up that relationship after 2 days. Deleted the hashtags.

Photo of plate of full of healthy no-meat salads with some seeds and nuts, other plant-based stuff #veganforever #healthylifestyle #youarewhatyoueat

Reality.

Actually, this morning, after partying too hard you ended up in McDonald's where you order sandwiched with pork and beef and had some chicken nuggets as well. As you woke up hangover only at 8 pm, light salads was the only food you could look at without feeling sick.

Photo of you in the gym striking a pose in front of the mirror. It seems as you built up some nice booty and your stomach seems flat as well #gymeveryday #sixpack #workout #trainhard #gymismysecondhome

Reality.

Actually, by accident you got the free single entry in newly opened gym. As you had the party until the morning, you used your voucher for the shower before you heading home. You have not eaten for at least 30 hours thus your stomach is flat and you learnt from youtube how to make your booty look bigger in the pics. You go to the gym once in 5 years. 

Online. 

You instagram story shows some amazing changes in life: moving to new apartment, quitting old job and already starting the new one, every day taking home flowers from dates with (most likely) hot looking guys #lovemylife #newbeginnings #happyhappy 

Reality.

Actually, you had to move out as your landlord is selling the apartment and you could not find the new one for months and when finally found it, after one week you have to move again as your room is full of cockroaches. You were fired from the work you did not like and found another similar one cause you have to pay a rent. Your mom sends you flowers every day to cheer you up. You call her and cry.
