Everybody in 2014 is an exceptional photographer, there is so much awareness for the beauty this world has to offer...oh wait, that's not what instagram is for though apparently. People all over the world have decided that everything in their lives should be out there for everyone to see, I'm all about moderation, so that's how I use mine..others however, take it a little too far. Here are the signs you're #addicted to Instagram.

1. First thing you do in the morning is snap your breaksfast...

16. You take a photography course..

and when asked on the first day why you chose to undertake said course you reply "to understand why (in your opinion) the different filters of Instagram have changed the photography world forever". You are instantly thrown head first out the window..#filters #instafilter #twoinstabrokenlegs

17. You look at everything with potential likes in mind

...Dads, dogs, babies... they all rack up those love hearts don't they? You're sick.
