But it’s not all awesome. Along with this accessibility comes the pressure to be ~perfect~ at all times. From YouTubers abusing FaceTune to no-makeup looks that require 15 products (but are still tagged #IWokeUpLikeThis), the stress is REAL — and one Instagram star is getting real about it. “Love yourself, it’s 2016,” wrote one commenter. “You don’t need to tear yourself down smdh,” wrote another. “YOU’RE STILL PERFECT DON’T HATE YOURSELF,” wrote someone else. This went on for QUITE a long time — until Erika had had enough. Erika is allowed to say stuff like “I have always always thought I looked basic AF, and wished I had a more unique look.” Sharing your negative feelings can be AWESOME. It lets others going through the same thing know they’re not alone, as well as helping you process them. Demanding that everyone on social NEVER share anything except ~empowering, relatable content~ is unfair. It doesn’t make you body negative; it makes you real. And realness is what we should be celebrating!
