I’ve been seeing a lot of actual versus reality posts floating around lately so I thought I’d share a quick example with you:
What our life looks like on wordpress:
What our life looks like in real life:
(This was Athena’s first roller coaster ride and she actually really enjoyed it and wanted to go on again. I managed to catch a fear-stricken moment on video though that made me question taking her back on.)

Thank you 🙂 I want to teach her to try new things but I don’t want to push her too much. There is a fine balance.

Thank you, truly!
I feel like I put everything out there but it’s hard to be 100% real through text. Sometimes I just have to share the good and the bad 😉
I appreciate your support 🙂

I loved the real photo and the fact – you seeing the look on her face made you question taking her on again. Although having listened to how you deal with fear, I am sure you will ensure your daughter is psychologically as safe as can be! Great Photo of you both 🙂
* I’m not seeing these posts come up on wordpress for some reason. Hmmm… will need to check it out 🙂

All mass media constructs reality. We shape the message by the way we take the image, the subject we choose, and how we deliver/transmit the image. Together the real and the actual combine to reveal truth & life. The child’s experience, like all human experience, is not one thing. . ………………. At least she didn’t Hurl during or after. 😀
