Dont Tell Your Father. Content Warning.
I was at the hairdressers today, sitting in the chair while the stylist chatted away. She was telling me a story about borrowing her dad’s car and accidentally reversing it into a pole. Terrified of his reaction, she went to her mum instead. Her mum’s response was simple: “Don’t tell your father.” She told her she’d sort it out without him knowing.

“The Instagram Smile: A Confession About Fame, Control, and the Stories We Choose to Show
I didn’t expect a simple social media post to make me question everything. But it did.

It talked about “simple pleasures,” spending time at home, enjoying small moments, and creating memories with family. On the surface, it was beautiful. Almost comforting.
