Everybody is fighting a battle that you know nothing about

It's very easy to see people posting happy pictures on social media and assume that they're also happy in real life.

It's very easy to see couples saying "I love you." or sharing lovey-dovey moments online and think:

"Oh God! They're madly in love."

Social media has granted us a power where everyone can hide under the mask of perfection. Where everyone can pretend to be someone they're not. Where everyone can pretend have things they don't have.

But we never know the real story.

Perhaps, the person whose happy pictures you saw on Facebook isn't happy at all.

Perhaps, the couple showing so much love online doesn't have any love between them.

I have seen people who seem so happy and contended on social media. But when it comes to the real life, they are alone and insecure.

I have seen them fighting depression, anxiety, and overthinking. I have seen them been haunted by their own demons.

Oh! I have also been one of them.

But we always assume. No matter how much we deny, we still make our impression about someone on the basis of looks.

Oh! He is cheerful and smiling - he must be really happy.

Oh! He is so good looking and handsome - he must be a player.

Oh! She has a tattoo - the girl is a loose character.

If you're also doing this, don't.

Don't assume!

Don't let your judgement be clouded by doubt,

Instead, step into their shoes. Listen to their story. Only then pass a judgement.

Because as my friend Tim Denning said:

"Everybody is fighting a battle you know nothing about."
