Pinterest is my favorite social network. There are no filters, there is no pressure to be witty in 140 characters, and no pressure to prove that I am, indeed, a 24-hour party person.
While I appreciate Pinterest's ability to summon me heartbreakingly beautiful photos and ideas, there's one universal truth: Pinterest reflects a reality that is, by far, way better than anyone's current reality. If you remember that, you won't get bothered by the massive amounts of photos from bloggers who seemingly have nothing better to do than art-direct their lives and families.
If you forget that, however, you will start feeling bad about your utterly average life. These pins may or may not solely exist to inspire those feelings. Who are these people and what do they do with their days?
