life unfiltered is so much more fun
The changes in this picture are subtle to our eyes but massive to our subconscious. We are conditioned to always want to look a little different, because how could a society that profits off our insecurities survive if we loved ourselves?
We don’t realise how these filters affect our self love. How many people are like me and started liking the way they looked better with these filters?
I found myself taking a picture with this filter and later that day looked in the mirror and wished my lips were bigger. That terrified me, not just for myself but for the women and girls that follow me and think that’s what I look like.
These filters can be so fun and I’m not telling you to stop using them, but I encourage you to check in with yourself to see if these filters are changing the perception you have in your real life.
Remember, life unfiltered is so much more fun. 😈
