Her video was a needed wake-up call for me. I always believed that my self-worth and value were defined by my social media presence. I thought I needed to get a ton of followers or beautifully shot, carefully thought out, and perfectly edited photos to be validated because we get so much praise out of it. Who wouldn't want that? And I know that saying social media is fake is a bit extreme, but it becomes fake because the other side of it all is left out. We have become obsessed by perfection and beauty because we are heavily influenced by it. Even if the intention was not to deceive, it's not the whole truth. All I ask is that you know this and not waste so much of your time online just comparing yourself to those you see on your feed.

It’s Thursday so watch out for today’s inspiring posts!
