The (un)happiness radiates from it. You don't have to get upset about that sad show of sham from others.

From Facebook and other social media, we now know that most smiling faces in photos are not spontaneous and real and all the beautiful stories most of the time not totally true. The true story and face is just before and right after the selfie for instance.

Last week I was confronted a few times with stories about people who really are most creative in showing their ‘wonderful’ lives just to try to stay track with society they want to be part of.

They have lots of debts, have tremendous financial troubles and, most funny, nearly all their friends know about these sad situations of them. And yet they continue to borrow money (from friends), try to get more credit cards, etc., just to show friends in all kinds of ways how ‘happy’ they can live. As if they don't realize at all that they can't handle money. Actually, it is too bizarre that it is possible to get even more loans and also that mainly friends still want to lend money to these types (only to keep the friendship with these ‘glitter friends’.

The people who told me those stories were quite "upset" and I think that is actually a step too far. You can be proud of yourself if you live differently and know how to deal with money and to have no debts. You can be sure this fake shows finally end up in lots of misery.

And furthermore… look at it from a distance (maybe with a smile) and say "no" after hearing those blistering stories from them to get money. And if that costs a "friendship" then you may wonder what that friendship was really worth.

Living a life without debt, something that I have inherited from home and that so far always feels great in my life. And what others do or only show... let go and laugh. It's all baked air.
