What I Didn't Post on Instagram: A Collection of Essays on Real Lives and What We Filter Out, edited by Chrissy Stockton (PDF Version)

About the Book

What I Didn’t Post on Instagram is a collection of essays that explores the fertile territory between women’s lives and social media. We’re smart enough to know nothing is what it seems online, but a healthy dose of context makes a viewing of even the most aspirational, jealousy-inducing Instagram photo an exercise in empathy. What I Didn’t Post on Instagram shows us in painstaking detail that we are all the same behind the filters, we are all just trying to be a person. We are just trying to figure out what to do when we discover that our happily ever afters coexist with things like anxiety, imperfection, and the persistent feeling that we aren’t doing it right.
