Social media is usually a place for life highlights, showing off all the fun things you get up to, all the delicious food you eat, and all the cool people you hang out with.

It is rare that we get to see someone’s lowlight or their moment of vulnerability in a post.

While some prefer to keep that stuff off the grid, there are others who might get some relief from sharing an emotional story.

Britney Spears is one such person, using Instagram to share her story and find her own form of happiness.

Her father has now stepped down from the conservatorship that Britney and fans have been fighting against for all these years, so we are bound to see some big smiles on her Instagram soon enough.

Besides Britney, there is also Czech-born Paulina Porizkova, who is also not afraid to share an emotional moment on her Instagram.

Per Page Six, the former supermodel let her guard down and shared her bare face with tears in her eyes in a recent Instagram post, alongside a sentimental caption:

“I know you all enjoy happy posts, seeing people pick themselves up, dust off their pants and get back on the horse, all while smiling to let you know this fall just made them stronger and better people,” the 56-year-old beauty began.

“But. Everyday is not a happy day in the path of recovery.”

She went on, “Trust after being betrayed seems as far fetched as being shot into space. Correction. It’s easier to see myself shot into space at this moment.”

The full post opens up a lot more:

A post shared by Paulina Porizkova (@paulinaporizkov)

Porizkova could have been referring to her breakup with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin last month:

Others say she’s referencing the betrayal she felt by her late estranged husband, musician Ric Ocasek, after being left out of his will:

9Honey has more on that:

When Ocasek died suddenly in 2019 amid the pair’s divorce proceedings, Porizkova discovered he had left her out of his will entirely.

She was his wife of nearly 30 years and, needless to say, she was devastated.

Apparently, she never signed a prenup because Ocasek told her that it would be a “bad omen” which led her to lean on friends to pay for groceries following his death.

The post concludes on a slightly lighter note, with her musing about her “crying selfie” being “the height of narcissism”.

I guess people grieve in all kinds of ways.
