My page matters because being myself feels better than faking it. Everyone on social media does such a good job at portraying their lives to be this magical page full of selfies with fake eyelashes and tons of makeup, but I bet behind the screen is someone who’s broken. So broken that they feel the need to wake up and post a picture to feel “beautiful” and more worthy. I hate it. I hate seeing fitness models showing their flat tummies and curvy girls wearing outfits I could never afford. It’s both discouraging and exhausting. I posted a selfie a few weeks ago and only got 67 likes. It was probably because I’m not nearly as beautiful as all the other girls are but, I was courageous enough to post it, you know? I wish the stigma was different. Why can’t average girls be the center of attention for once? I can’t show my stomach because it isn’t flat. I can’t take cute pictures because I’m camera shy, but why can’t my page be equal to the girl with 500 likes? She’s broken too, so why can’t I have the same attention? - anonymous
