Social Media is great as it allows me to keep in contact with my family and friends throughout the world and document momentous occasions in my life BUT as I have struggled throughout my teenage years with body image and the concept of "what is normal", the "idyllic" lives we all portray to have on these sites are hardly helping these issues. As we scroll through endless pictures of our friend's "perfect" lives we get discouraged and think that everyone else is having a great time and we are the only ones with problems. My mission is to prove that no one's life is perfect - not yours or any other's you may see on the internet (no matter how convincing they are), and that there is an abundance of beauty and joy on the planet that can be easily embraced if we are but willing to see it.
