Self love journey in the social media era

We live in a society where social medias daily bombard us with pictures of perfect lives, perfect bodies and perfect-everything, so that it can be really challenging sometimes not to start feeling unworthy or 'not enough'.

Even if we have always been told that what we see online isn't real, it's easy to forget it while scrolling through the feed and to lose ourselves in these digital illusions, allowing them to dictate our self-esteem, self-image, and overall mental health.

For this reason, we should take some time to disconnect to reconnect: disconnect from the virtual world to reconnect with our real, precious lives, valuing all the beautiful things we have and spending time with the people we love... including ourselves. This is not a rejection of technology but rather a conscious effort to maintain a healthy balance between our online and offline lives.

However, if used properly it can be a tool for good.

It can help us connect with people from all walks of life, express our thoughts and feelings in creative ways, and even find a sense of community. It can be a platform where we can share our own story, our own struggles and victories, and in doing so, help others feel less alone in their journey.

The important thing is to stay grounded in our own reality and to always remember who we are, deep inside. It's about knowing our worth, irrespective of likes, shares, and comments.

It's about understanding that our value is not determined by others' perception of us, but rather by how we perceive ourselves.

As they say - at the end of the day, 'we are who we are when no one is looking'.
