Social Media #10

 

                     Be who you want to be!

In today’s world we have advanced in technology and knowledge, with anything you need to know at the tips of your fingers. Not only that but with social media a lot of people feel the need to keep up the perfect image, or compare yourself to a lot of people. With me having 3 little sisters 12-17 years old I have watched them change with the newest trends and following the next thing on social media. I hate to see these kids getting brain washed that the way other people live is the way they also try to live with all the newest things. It’s also mentally draining trying to keep up with others or not being whom you want to be rather than faking it.

However even myself, if my scrolling on social media at too long of a time I will find myself comparing me to others, rather thats my weight, hair, skin, make-up, home, the car I drive, or even how someone else is more organized then someone else. This is why I try to limit my usage of my phone so I don't find myself getting lost into my phone, because it's very possible to get lost into social media quickly. 

This is good for people who are social media influencers because your whole life revolves around this, but with this you have to have a very strong mindset because there are a lot of mean people in the world, with so much hate going around. Even with the news, magazines, news paper, literately anywhere you look there is negativity. 

This is a friendly reminder to just be who you want to be, no one knows you the way you do. It's hard to remember that is okay to be different!!!!
