flying

Flying is rarely a "fun" experience, and going through security is probably the lease amusing phase of everyone's trip. The lines, taking off one's shoes, and sometimes even being patted down. There's also the anxiety-inducing knowledge that at any point a TSA officer could select your bag for some random inspection. And all your dirty secrets will be revealed. These people, names withheld, had to deal with everyone's worst nightmares. 

Social media is wonderful in a lot of ways: it allows us to keep in touch with our loved ones, and share our creative endeavors, hopes, and dreams. But there's always a dark side. The option to share has now become almost compulsory, and there's often a sense of having to keep up with your network. If your life is anything but perfect - you can at least try to make it appear so. These stories really prove that these facades can be unhealthy - and, rarely, a way to keep yourself safe.
