My question is, are we perceiving social media like those ‘perfect’ fashion mags? At the end of the day it’s still a form of marketing media – so whatever the photo is it needs to look good to attract people, it’s just a new advanced, fast paced way. But this time WE have so much more control over it because it’s what WE CHOOSE to put out there, and it’s up to us how much we take what we see so literal. If we didn’t like it once before like e.g. magazines, then why are we doing it to ourselves again?
there’s always “a couple of hundred photos
that didn’t make the cut
before getting “that one”….

Hello dear! I truly loved this post. It’s basically what I’ve been thinking for a while now about social media. I feel like the pressure to be perfect just changed from magazines to social media. Thank you for sharing 🙂

I’m so so glad that you enjoyed! It’s so important not to get lost in so much beautiful content to the extent of feeling pressured. Taking a step back and reminding ourselves that we need to be our individual selves is what will keep this field so much more interesting!
