Description
"Sometimes, you are hurt and shaken. And there is no one around to hold your hand. But then, you
find courage in words. Words that don't complain when your tears leave them moist. Words that
keep your dark secrets safe even when you hide them in brackets. Words that understand that
sometimes you are left with just no choice. Words that reflect the image of a heart that has forgotten
how to smile. Because when no one else listens, words listen. Talk to them, often.
Instagram is for the good, the pretty stuff, for the lovely images we take of ourselves and of the lovely meals we
have. But what about the not-so-pretty moments, the not-so-#instaworthy feelings? After all, we do
live through days and nights that are neither pure black, nor dark white, and neither all that grey.
Can we change the narrative? Yes, and we should. As we battle heartbreaks, breakdowns, and
challenges - can we start an open conversation on how we are feeling, truly?
#icouldhavebeenaninstapost is a book and an invitation to scroll through short shorts where we
express our 'unpretty'' moments in an OTT Insta-friendly manner and find strength thereby. It's the
answer to the question - how does one pick up the shards each day and piece them together? It's
for the one who needs to hear these words - you are not alone. It's for the one who needs a hug, a
shoulder to cry on, a reminder to check on oneself, or a pat to acknowledge the magic of self. It's for the one who was mistold that it's not okay to share pain, cry, and scream. It's for the one who knows that sometimes a bunch of right words is the only shield one needs. It's for the one who took a hashtag and turned it into a reminder, a victory, a self-care ritual. The emotions in the book, after all, too could have been #instaposts."
