From @instagram to reality

I am a big fan of instagram.
I can literally (I hate that word, but I can't help myself) spend hours looking at photos from total strangers. I find it really fascinating, peeking into someone's life, getting a glimpse of someone else's reality or dreams. A compilation of photos can say so much about a person. I tend to erase some of my posts from time to time, because I feel like they don't represent the real me.
Loosing your identity while being active on the social media happens sooner than one can expect. Or maybe it's just me and my split-personality issues. I truly think it should be wiser for someone like me to stay off social media all together. Which obviously is not going to happen anytime soon ... Is my fixation with certain forms of online self-exposure connected to my poor social skills in real life? Maybe.
I follow a lot of celebrity accounts both on @instagram and @twitter . I tend to follow the ones which have real people behind them although I should probably not count too much on the aspect of "real". But I have to praise my deductive online observation skills - I have managed to figure out a handful of people who really post their mind. And that is really worth the trouble of going through tons of junk.
.....
I got a bit lost with my thoughts as usual.
To be continued.
