September 4th 2024.
Jennifer Lopez has been using Instagram as a way to cope with her recent divorce. Like many others in the same situation, she's been using the platform to show her ex, the world, and even herself that she's doing just fine, thank you very much.
After two years of marriage, Jennifer and Ben Affleck have decided to call it quits, and J. Lo is handling the split in a way that most of us can relate to. As summer flings and relationships come to an end, a trend known as 'posting through it' has gained popularity once again, and even J. Lo is not immune.
If you've been on social media lately, you've probably noticed an increase in mirror selfies and inspirational quotes on your feeds. This is a common way for recently single individuals to take control of the story surrounding their breakups. You may not have known it had a name, but chances are you've 'posted through it' yourself.
This term refers to the tendency for people who have recently ended a relationship to suddenly become more active on social media as they navigate their heartbreak. It often includes thirst traps, quotes or song lyrics that hint at the breakup, and content that screams, "LOOK HOW WELL I'M DOING!"
J. Lo's recent Instagram post, featuring a carousel of photos, is a perfect example of 'posting through it.' The carousel includes several carefree photos of the singer, as well as inspirational quotes and a cheeky mirror selfie. Fans were quick to notice that J. Lo is indeed 'posting through it.'
Many have commented on the relatable nature of J. Lo's post-breakup post, with some saying that it's a universal experience regardless of status or wealth. Others have pointed out that it may not be the best long-term strategy. It's clear that J. Lo is trying to appear unbothered and in control as her highly publicized divorce from Ben Affleck unfolds.
But for those of us who have also posted laughing bikini pictures and quotes about self-love while sobbing in the bathtub, we can see through her methods. Like most people who 'post through it,' J. Lo's efforts to appear strong and invulnerable unintentionally reveal her vulnerability. As one person on social media put it, "People who claim to be unbothered are usually bothered."
A breakup is a challenging and emotional experience that often involves redefining one's sense of self. It's not just about grieving the person who has left your life, but also about finding your identity outside of the relationship. J. Lo is navigating this in the public eye, and it's something that we can all connect to, even if it's embarrassing. This has made her more relatable and likable than she's been in a long time.
It's clear that J. Lo is trying to present an image of herself as unbothered and confident, but the reality is that this is her second time trying to make it work with Ben Affleck. This only adds to the heartbreak and makes it more challenging to move on. The two were first engaged in the early 2000s but called it off before their wedding. They reunited in 2021, but it seems that their love story has come to an end for good this time.
According to sources, Jennifer is disappointed and sad about the divorce, but Ben has shown no signs of wanting to work on their marriage. This has led her to focus on herself and her own well-being. As she tries to redefine herself in this new chapter, all we can do is wish her the best and maybe suggest that she takes a break from social media for a while.
