#icouldhavebeenaninstapost is an invitation to scroll through short shorts where we express our 'unpretty' moments in an OTT Insta-friendly manner and find strength. It's the answer to the question — how does one pick up the shards each day and piece them together? It's for the one who needs to hear these words: You are not alone. It's for the one who needs a hug, a shoulder to cry on. It's for the one who was mistold it's not okay to share, cry, and scream. It's for the one who knows that sometimes a bunch of right words is the only shield one needs. It's also for the one who turned a hashtag into a victory, a self-care ritual. After all, the emotions in the book could have been Instagram posts, too.
