Its been a strange few weeks keeping up all these different social media profiles and i have to say I've been getting really tied up in keeping up the pretense of these fake lives. Like i never realised how obsessed i would get with spending time on Pinterest and Instagram and the rush you feel when you get the likes within seconds of posting an image. The Aegle255 profile has been a bit frustrating, I've been getting likes on my Instagram posts but barely any followers, its been just as slow going for Pinterest and getting attention on Facebook. The whole thing makes me think about the social media i use in my real life and how little i post and how little people seem to care about it. I suppose its how my realgirl261 feels, having these profiles that are a false representation of yourself getting more attention, people caring more about a life carefully crafted with a filter put on than the real you. Its funny that its happening to me though and i know that after this project I'm probably gonna kick start my own instagram and stuff to chase that like high again. This resentment that realgirl261 feels might lead to the creation of devil45701, an outlet of frustration at these beautiful, happy, aspirational fakes she's made.
