Anyone else slightly over the endless perfect pastel pink and blue hued travel shots closely chased by the “follow me” photo phenomenon and inspiring quotes making us feel so motivated for all of 5 seconds. That is until our limited attention span is distracted by a cute cat sitting in a sink or funny kid dancing? Wanderlust has taken over Instagram, Facebook and any other image based social platforms. Lets travel the earth, sing Kumbaya and tell everyone about our amazing spiritual existence. Are our everyday lives so bad that we exist to live vicariously through the eyes of the multitudes of travel and lifestyle bloggers who take a thousand shots, retouch for hours and present us with this unrealistic image of life? Just maybe…

Wanderlust has risen with the wave of social media fixation. Its interesting to see this unrealistic way of life is slowly slowly being pushed aside as our interest peaks in the “behind the scenes” reality of these images. The side by side before and afters, the flexed and unflexed, the “situation outside” the Insta crop. People are over competing with these crazy cool lifestyles in the face of something more real and close to their reality…

I like beautiful things and love to travel so my interest will still be peaked by Wanderlust and the masses of content out there. I do however so much enjoy being let into the secret of what’s  “just outside the crop”! Continue to share the realities people, we love it!
