There is so much more than meets the eye

When it comes to social media (@instagram in particular), there is so much more than meets the eye… 👁

I have had enough conversations one-on-one, with friends in private to know that *so many* of us have some seriously complicated feelings about the role of social media in our lives.

And it makes total sense! Having these conversations in private can connect us on an individual level, but then still leave us wondering if anyone beyond that conversation feels the way that we do..

And I can promise you the answer is YES 🔥

A lot of us share so many of the same complicated & nuanced feelings about being on these squares so why the heck are we not talking about it?!?!

Could you imagine if your favorite accounts could acknowledge the ways in which social media is tiring for them? Or the ways in which they feel obligated to BE a certain way?

Could you imagine if we talked more openly about the things we’re sick of seeing and hearing? Or the ways in which we love this app but sometimes it can make us feel like absolute garbage? 🗑

What would it be like if we could talk about the lies (THAT WE KNOW ARE LIES) that we start to believe despite ourselves? What if we could openly tell friends & community about the ways this platform can feel like a drag?

I have a feeling that maybe…just maybe we would start to feel a shift ⚡️

We would stop believing so many of those lies, we would stop feeling guilty for not showing up here the way that someone else does…that we would start to feel more FREE on here.

Free to post whatever we want, free to show up with messy hair or the same shirt we had on yesterday, free to be our REAL FUCKING SELVES

Thanks for being here and thanks for always keeping it real with me
