How Social Media has single-handedly murdered the expectations of reality.

It's only purpose is to tempt us into something we do not have.
Desire. A trait all of us possess, it fuels each and every human being. The constant necessity to obtain more than what has been presented to us. We strive for greater and greater portions of life and its many enjoyments. With greater an increase of knowledge and exposure, our desires scale to accommodate this new wealth of information bestowed upon us. As information continues to travel quicker each day due to the mass influx of social media notifications, our expectations upon reality are becoming increasingly particular.
Before the dawn of technology, beauty was only measured by our own physical experiences. The most beautiful woman on the planet was the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. She was not a glorified human who resonates on your screen or in images, she was a woman whom you have physically witness. All three dimensions of her frame and the sculpt of her face. As technology has advanced, the exposure to an ever-increasing database of beautiful faces, characters, and stories have left the world of reality to become mundane and rather dull. The prettiest girl in class is oftentimes incomparable to the women displayed on television and the internet.
With the increased attention in Tumblr, and Pinterest, the ability to exercise our sense of lust has increased exponentially. No longer are we only exposed to "marketed" beautiful people, but now the ability to find nearly every image, screencap, and quote mentioned by many people are available for reference through these websites. Upon following a blog of a particular character such as "Fuck-Yeah-Brunettes.Tumblr.com" our expectations for reality become skewed by the sheer amount of increasingly beautiful people. This oftentimes leads to the idealized fantasy that no longer embodies a single person, but rather a laundry list of traits that one deems to be "perfect." Social media, by the process of increasingly over saturating our desires, has actually created a more vague, yet more unrealistic desire within all of us.
