Accept Yourself, Love Yourself.

You are who you are.

            Every generation has a higher expectation on how to look,  what to dress like,  what to like, and with each one of them becoming more and more tech savvy they all are brainwashed and are fed lies. Photoshop is one of the most useful apps for social media. You can create posters, help brands, you can use it for photo touch ups. But then we have the people that believe they can't upload a photo without it being touched up in order for more followers, likes, etc… that's where it becomes a problem. We have people that look up to celebrities but forget that celebrities are just like you and me. They have flaws and go through everyday problems.

            With things such as skin problems, touching up can help you feel more confident but you must remember that you can't compare yourself with lies...most of their bodies are photoshopped and this is fed to kids minds at an early age. What you’re seeing is their internet persona. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it at all…I'm guilty of using it as well for things I'm not happy about. But knowing that what you’re seeing isn't real, you can give yourself a break and remember it is ok not to be okay with your own body, face or whatever it is. But always remember that you only have one body… so take care of it. 

             I made this tiktok being a bit vulnerable and showing you my flaws and what i put out into the world when I touch up a photo I upload. It's more for me to dial back and love my impurities and accept that they are what make up me.
