I just finished watching the Jessie odd one out documentary and it was so sad to watch the devastating effects that social media can have on people, even when they achieve their dreams. People do not think about how their horrible words can have a detrimental effect on people. Social media has become such a horrible portrayal of everyone's filtered, perfect lives, venomous trolls and such a false outlook on what is real in the world. No one is perfect! But it had made me think about what i portray online. I rarely share a photo that represents the reality of how i feel and look 60% of the time. Tired, in pain and feeling like I'm falling behind. I tend to share photos that have taken multiple attempts to achieve, with a face of make up at the times when i am keeping busy. I do feel like social media has played a part in making me feel shit about myself as something that i use as a distraction ends up becoming hours spent scrolling through and looking at things that i am unable to obtain. The figure, the skin, the make up skills, the house, the car, the holidays, the lifestyle but i have to remember that it is only a small snapshot into someone's life. So, here is a photo of me from last week when i was feeling rough, struggling mentally and just wanted to sleep through the week. The thought of posting makes me anxious but, i want to share a bit of reality on this rose-tinted platform. This is me!
