A snippet of social media and how it can ruin us pt.1

Seems like more than ever I depend on social media, and I'm not proud of it. What's astonishing is that prior to covid I was reluctant enough to resist questioning my own body, mind and spirit and fall in the trap to comparing it others. However, now, because it is all I ever see, I've gotten to that point where I expect to be something like what I constantly see.

and that's not bad, reaching higher for yourself is definitely good, however putting pressure on oneself for something that is simply not attainable is to be avoided at all costs. We can't look like what we see online. Why you may ask? Because everything seen on social media is edited and or only reflecting the best of everyone.

I'll give you a very real example : I see this beautiful girl while I scroll through Instagram, wherein the sun was casting on her perfectly almond face, the highlight beaming into outer space and big lips just like those of Kylie Jenner. She had a line green crop top on, just like as if she was wearing a yellow highlighter. She had curly brown hair, the natural curly, the ones you see in dove commercials and all that. Brown eyes that had the sun hit making her natural dark eyes to look like the color of gold. Everyone loves this photo, apparently from the comments she received.

Meanwhilst I am sitting on my unmade bed, with my hair tied in a knot, baggy pants like mcjagger eating a donut I got for 5$
