Lots of people are doing their 2021 highlights at the moment and whilst the majority of my year has been positive for me, man oh man it’s also been hard. I wanted to put together a REALITY CHECK of a social media post to help emphasise that not everyone has a glam life despite what they post online. Here are some of the pics that didn’t make social media, see list below for explanations.
Well first, why is she trying to be so different? What is s wrong about posting your highlights? Most people have had a crappy 2021, be it because of the pandemic, but also other things that happen in personal life, to do with their career etc. It's only natural to spend a little time thinking about the year as it's nearing to its end and try to see some good things that have happened. There are people, very few of them, but still, that quite honestly can't find anything good that has happened but Katie is definitely not one of them. Why does she decide to focus on negatives? Why is the glass always half empty with this one? Also, no offence to anyone who suffered from similar things to her this year (I suffer from hayfever and pretty much experienced some from February to September), but as much as they're nuisance, they're not major health problems. How did she managed in the years before (before G, just as well), when she had a colonoscopy or she had abnormal cells discovered at her cervical smear? These are serious things to worry about.
I don't want to be an armchair doctor but it sounds to me that instead of finding things which are "wrong" with her body, she should really start addressing her mental health. We have said on here a number of times that we worry that she isn't actually all that happy with Geoff, she should really ask herself whether the relationship might be the thing affecting both her mental and psychical health. A house can be sold and a wedding cancelled* but mental wellbeing is priceless.
*she won't do any of these though because she always dreamt of buying a house and getting married and it seems like she will go ahead no matter what.
Also sorry about the comment I am about to write as it's a serious post from me, for once but the grammar here?
"whilst the majority of my year has been positive for me"
- yes Katie, you are writing about your year, who else would it be positive for?
And lastly - we don't think your life is glamorous at all
Girl, you keep rolls of toilet paper on your bedside table. You photograph yourself in granny pants and period knickers. You wear manky trainers. You have 20 cans of dry shampoo. Your makeup, bath bombs and quite possibly a lot of the skincare is out of date. That's not glamour. That's not keeping it real either.
I really struggled in my personal life in 2021 and I can’t wait for this year to be over! I’ve struggled with my health and I’ve also been trying to work hard on self-improvement and my mental health! It’s been a really eye-opening year & I just hope next year has less drama, more laughter and more love.
- again, Kathleen, how exactly did you struggled? Try go and work as a teacher, or nurse, or in retail while you suffer with psychical and mental health at the same time, while making 20k a year and not being gifted anything? Imagine not having the time to think about how unhappy you are because you can't afford Gousto/don't get sent free food and have to cook your own food from scratch every day? Imagine not going out for gorgeous cocktails because ... you don't have the time & can't afford to?
(Pics contain lots of crying (there’s been A-LOT of tears this year), hospital appointments, spots, dealing with hayfever, bloating… basically all the good, real stuff that social media hides).
