Lindsay Woods: I have an unrivalled aversion to Insta-worthy quotes

A quote doing the rounds on Instagram: “We get 18 delicious summers with our children. This is one of your 18. If that’s not perspective, I don’t know what is.”

I have an unrivalled aversion to Insta-worthy quotes. Stolen words about sunsets, stardust, and dreaming make me dry heave. I have an even stronger distaste for the comments that accompany these posts: ‘So true, hun...’ and my personal favourite, ‘This’. Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as ‘real’ on Instagram. I show you what I want to show you; and while I’m honest in what I discuss and present, I like my feed to look a little tidier than the overflowing laundry basket that greets me every morning.
