my dear,
Do you know what the definition of a typical social media photo is? If you don’t know it or, better said, you don’t want to recognize it, because the reality of this typology is, in fact, not at all foreign to you, then here are some of its characteristics that I can only remind you of now:
No, dear friend, the factual truth is that a photo posted on social media by so many of the likes of you and me does not speak for itself. A photo doesn’t say a thousand words. Such a photograph does not tell the truth behind the lies, as it does not tell about the sighs and sobs behind the smiles captured in it. A photograph does not speak of the bruises left on your body, mind and soul when the flash of the camera was not open, just as it does not speak of arguments, fights and broken hearts. Ah, no, no, these bruises can’t be seen in the photo we’re talking about, because you made sure that the photo passed through the filter of so many layers that you added on top of the original version, so that the bruises, now brown on the surface of the epidermis, made up, get confused with the sepia filter that gives the air of antiquity to a situation that you tell yourself, lying to yourself, that it’s over, that it was nothing, that it doesn’t hurt anymore.
