Social Media should have never made its way into the hands of people who have owned a CD or known communication outside of emojis. As it stands, Facebook is inundated with funky fifteen-minute pecan pie recipes for the holidays and Oscar-worthy odes to rescue dogs resembling Cujo that we have to pretend are adorable. Instagram – formerly a relatively protected space reserved for starlets’ tastefully covered tits and vages – is no longer immune to completely WTF posts by people who shouldn’t be allowed within ten yards of a smart phone. As proven by Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ wife, who shared a video of the exact moment the couple found out their unborn baby was #dead #miscarriage #sad #isitfridayyet #OOTD.
Mara Lane accompanies her family video with a comment a murder/suicide cult leader would deem as excessive:
To the showering of love received, thank you from bottom of our hearts. I am so humbled and got teary-eyed several times at how beautiful humans can be and so sad but hopeful with the stories shared of depression and miscarriage and addictions. Thank you for sharing your soul and stories back, as this helps us feel that we are not alone. Anyone who knows me personally knows I would normally never share such personal sadness (only because in my head, I would not want to burden others and because I trust that in time God will heal me) but I was happy to come to my husband’s defense. I could not sit back and see him attacked by Darkness publicly during such a tender time. Thank you for coming to ours. Please continue to always write or comment about your days no matter what I share as when I see it I will return the love back someway or it will be read by someone else who can too. I so wish that I could support you on all your walks and sad days so hopefully the posts I share will make you laugh or lighten your days or make you smile/brighten them somehow. This is not a highlights nor lowlights reel, but simply an in-the-middle to keep in contact. I was very vulnerable in my last post as well as being at an all-time low and on such days I sometimes will feel the need for support, so thank you for being so kind to me and being a safe place. We will try to be more transparent on our journey as I see it may be helpful for others as well as ourselves. We don’t have to carry the weight of the world ourselves. We can help lift one another up.
I have been given peace and Baby Willow is now planted in the tree in front of our home that has weeping long branches and leaves so we can brush our faces in soft leaves in passing or we can see the baby dance with the wind in the branches as they sway. It is helping me process the situation … as Nature does. Thank you again Dr Stu for getting us through that as watching a sonogram not have a heartbeat is very surreal and beyond sad. Thank you Father God for supernatural peace. May you afford those who seek you the same peace and may we grow as humans and have more compassion for all humanity.
The inability to separate public and private is very of this time – just ask Chrissy Teigen’s cellulite – but no one needs to see this. Well, no one needs to see Teigen’s cellulite either. If inspiring others is actually the goal (and not the immediate rush of Insta acceptance,) was a video really necessary? Exposing this much of oneself makes a person all the more vulnerable. Plus, the post only has 2,243 likes at the time of this post. Like shooting off a heartfelt text only to get a “K” in response three days later. If the text was a video of a dead fetus.
