Scrolling through social media, we all come across pictures of celebrities and influencers that stay in our minds. Their dressing style, their accessories and especially the glow and smile on the face - everything seems so perfect. Then, we put down our devices and wonder how are they so happy? Do they not face any problems in life? Is money and fame benefitting them? What is wrong with me?

Almost all of us are addicted to social media. Not only because we enjoy the reels and memes but also because we vicariously live through the lively content of celebrities. We develop an idea of perfection when we see their photos. What next? We all try to put up pictures that show the best of us. We seek validation from the likes and comments those photos receive. But we forget that our real lives aren't as still as the photos. They change as trials and tribulations come our way.
