Serious question, how are you all doing? I know with quarantine we have more time ...

... to go on social media. We can spend hours scrolling through our feeds and we begin to compare ourselves to others. I know I am definitely guilty of that, but I also know I’m not the only one. I get how easy it can be to start comparing yourself to the perfectly edited pictures. For the longest time I felt insecure about the size and shape of my nose, my lips not being plump enough, and my height. Who am I kidding, there are days where I still feel insecure over these little things. Especially with society’s “standards” it becomes so toxic. I’m here to say screw all of these standards. Nowhere does it say you have to be a certain size, shape, race, or sexuality to be considered beautiful. Also, no one is perfect. We all have our flaws and insecurities but that’s what make us BEAUTIFUL and UNIQUE.

If we were all the same, this world would be such a boring place.

This quarantine I’ve been focusing on being a lot kinder to myself and learning to love myself. I’ve been allowing myself to take breaks from my phone and social media to just reconnect and relax. It’s ok to take some time for yourself, especially during these crazy times. Love you all but also make sure to love yourself💚

Beautiful post! I totally agree with you... social media can be so addictive especially when you have nothing else to do and scroll through your feed for hours and hours. We have to think about that people always post the most beautiful and edited pictures of themselves which sometimes isn’t even their own reality. However, it is very unhealthy to compare yourself to others. Everyone of us is unique and special! Social standards shouldn’t even exist in the first place!!! Sending you much love ~ you’re truly beautiful, within and without!

Awww thank you! As are you!! This truly just made my day. Also I completely agree. We shouldn’t let our insecurities and all these labels and “standards” define us because we are all beautiful and unique and we all have something amazing to offer💙💙💙
