Christina Fattore, an associate professor at the University of West Virginia, recently proved that people's lives on social media [1] might not be all roses and butterflies, despite what we may think. In a now-viral Twitter thread [2], Christina shared her "decade in review," and while she certainly had an impressive 10 years, it wasn't without setbacks.
"My decade in review: Got engaged, Got married, Had baby #1 [3], Bought a house, Tenured, Had Baby #2 [4], Kicked ass at work," she wrote. And while that all looks great on paper, Christina asked her followers, "Now... want to know a secret?" before giving some much-needed detail into how the events of the past ten years actually went down for her. Keep reading to get a look at Christina's "unedited" version, which proves that sometimes the road to motherhood, career success, and all the rest isn't always as straightforward as we think.
