…People only share the good in their life on social media,
Especially “influencers”
Thus creating an unrealistic standard for what life is supposed to look like
There are too many people struggling with mental health because of this
They’re comparing themselves constantly to the highlight reels of others
Not realizing what they’re seeing is a facade
I’d like to challenge more people to share the truth.
The good, the bad, and the ugly of every day,
Despite the judgment.
I remember when I first began to share stories from my life on social media.
The loudest critics were those that I considered my closest friends
And the kindest were those I’d never met before,
Strangers online.
I drowned out all the noise, and focused on one thing:
Sharing my truth,
And I’ll continue to do this till the day I die.
