'Sometimes I think that we worry about obeying some tacit social media code of conduct at the expense of our own mental health.'
I would not call my social media presence “curated” in any way, shape or form; I didn’t start using Instagram until 2018, and then, as now, I mostly used it to post unflattering photos of curries I’d cooked. These days, my feed can get a little chaotic.
Now, don’t get me wrong; I love love, and I genuinely can’t wait to dance all night at the upcoming weddings of the people who are actually in my life. When it comes to windswept mountaintop proposal shots from cishet couples I barely recognise but for some reason follow, though, I’m a little less interested, especially as I try to feel affirmed in my LGBTQ+ identity while living in a largely conservative state.
