THE SILENT PRESSURE OF BEING "PERFECT" IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA AGE

In a world where a single swipe can take us through a hundred lives, perfection has quietly become a currency.

We wake up and scroll through flawless mornings, curated outfits, spotless homes, and forever-smiling families. We see someone's "perfect" moment on social media and instantly compare it with the day we're having. Without even realizing it, we start measuring ourselves against screens - forgetting that behind every post lies a story we can't see.

No one shows the struggles. No one posts the sleepless nights, the disappointments, the fears, the effort it took to achieve something they once prayed for. All of it gets tucked neatly behind a filter.

Perfection used to be a choice. Today, it feels like an obligation.

It has become everyone's habit to display only the best parts of life.
