They say to not judge a book by its cover. But what if the cover tells you more than thousands of words? Welcome to Story Of My F Life, an Instagram account created by Jason Mustian that’s basically a library of imaginary book covers with nothing inside.
It’s because the book titles are so spot-on, you don't need anything else to add. They’re painfully hilarious, obnoxiously embarrassing, everyday bits of wisdom that tell the whole story with just a few sentences. Think of a fantasy story about “an email finding you well” or a guide of “how to make it through the afternoon when it’s too late for coffee and too early for vodka.”
Below we selected some of the best Story Of My F Life covers for your entertainment, so scroll down and upvote your favorites. After you’re done, be sure to check out our previous posts with more book titles that hurt because they’re true here and here.

I often intentionally boycott the sane instructions coming from my brain. I just don't think I can trust it.

I get motion sickness on airplanes. I firmly believe anyone who pukes during landing should be allowed to be the first one off the plane. That's me about half the time. I REALLY don't want to be there anymore, and I'm 99% sure the people next to me don't want me there either.
The person behind the Story Of My F Life project, which currently has 140k followers on Instagram and more than 37k followers on Facebook, is created by viral content creator, writer and illustrator Jason Mustian. Mustian is also behind some of the internet’s powerhouses for viral content like @tweetpikmemes, @tldr.wikipedia and @tastefullyoffensive.
Thanks to the popularity of his imaginary book titles, Mustian recently published a book “Story of My F Life: A Journal for Banishing the BS, Unlocking Your Creativity, and Celebrating the Absurdity of Life” which is described as “a self-care tool and hilarious journal.” The book features “illustrated spot-on book covers and journaling prompts that capture the mundane woes and everyday challenges that you’re technically not allowed to complain about but are definitely thinking about.” According to the creator, whatever life throws at you, “you’ll find support for life’s little injustices, plus the space to commiserate and reflect.”

Netflix, “are you still watching”. THE most judgmental question in history.
The internet’s fascination with Mustian’s brutally honest book covers from Story Of My F Life has to do with the fact that it perfectly captures our daily emotions, feelings, anxieties and thoughts that are hard to articulate. Through the subtle two sentences, they capture the complexity of our mishaps, joys and reflections, something that we don’t have a chance to step back and look at from a different perspective.

The sequel to "I checked my watch and instantly forgot what time it was"
Previously, Bored Panda spoke with Vasia Toxavidi, a counselor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy (BACP), who said that even smallest mishaps can ruin our day. “Even small mishaps in the morning like throwing our morning coffee on us or even getting a text or an email we don’t like can affect the rest of our day. A typical sentence I’ve heard a lot of people (and sometimes myself) say is, ‘Oh, great start to the day!’ With sarcastic irony, of course. At that point, when we say that, the ‘negative bias’ effect can start," Toxavidi said.

Which would be followed by "I'm sorry for the late reply", which I don't mean 90% of the time.
"As humans, we create the environment that we think about, so if someone thinks positively, they will see the world more through a positive lens and little mishaps may have a lower effect on them. While someone who is pessimistic and sees the world through a negative lens can be affected more by little misfortunate mishaps," Toxavidi highlighted the power of positive thinking.
While small mishaps can happen all the time and even every day, how we control our thoughts and what perspective we have on unfortunate events can help us determine how the rest of our day goes. Toxavidi argues that we can control how long we feel negatively after bad events by shifting our view of what occurred. And this is key in taking back the control into our own hands.

I will use it to watch TV. It does nothing to improve my health or fitness, but at least I can pretend I'm exercising while watching every episode of Abbott Elementary.

I play a game with my kids. It’s called “Am I smiling?” Then you pull the mask down, without changing expression, to see who was right. Minutes of fun guaranteed.

Actually as I have aged I've realized that having all Ikea furniture is much better because i can totally redo my house on the cheap rather than keep ugly outdated items because they were so expensive.
