Saab Magalona on social media use


Saab Magalona-Bacarro has something important to say about social media: “We can't fully know what's going on with someone based only on their posts..."

Saab Magalona-Bacarro recently took to Instagram and opened up about the personal challenges that she has been facing lately.

Saab could be seen doing her makeup while texts were flashed in her black and white Instagram reel.

The celebrity mom first wrote, “Reminder that social media is curated.”

Following that, Saab listed some things that people don't notice she's struggling with.

She wrote, “Some days I just stare at my to-do list and get absolutely nothing done.”

The celebrity mom also wrote a line about being a mom to her children, Pancho and Vito, “I feel like I've already failed my children by bringing them into this awful, dying world.”

Saab continued, “I fear I won't be physically strong enough to carry Pancho when he gets bigger. My heart stops when I'm not with my kids and I get any sort of text from whoever is with them.”

Saab Magalona also said that she is now trying to avoid making new connections. She emphasized, “I don't like delegating to others because I think no one will understand. I care too much that my heart hurts so I try to avoid making new connections.”

Saab also has this to say about using social media. She captioned her Instagram reel, “Social media is like a table of framed pictures of your family's best moments…

“Just reminding everyone that we can't fully know what's going on with someone based only on their posts. Try not to compare your own journey to what other people are posting."

She ended her post with a question, “Does this resonate with you?”
