So many of us girls are convinced social media is fake. We see fake tans, airbrushed skin, insane edits and the list goes on. People silently judge each other from behind their screens. Our time becomes consumed in insecurities, judging, and attempting to gain approval by the social media world.
But what if we made social media genuine? What if we admired beauty beyond the selfie? What if we talked like we do with our friends, express our opinions, hobbies, doubts, and failures just as much as we share our "perfect" days and accomplishments. What if we danced cause we like to dance? What if we went and met the people we've spent years getting to know and talking with over a screen?
Is that even possible?
Yes. I say yes. We can make social media genuine. We can dance and talk and share authenticity and realness and rawness. We can post unedited selfies and home videos of our regular daily lives. But do we want to? Do we want to show the world who we really are? Are we proud of who we are and what we stand for? Is our confidence found in the likes or is it found in the belief that we're truly sons and daughters of Jesus Christ?
It's a personal choice and a conscious choice. But in my opinion - social media can be a beautiful platform to relate and inspire and share REAL. LIFE. If you let it be that of course. And that's exactly what I tend on doing.
