Persevering Paige

I’ve seen/heard so many people talk about how the explore page on instagram makes them feel like they aren’t beautiful enough or good enough. Or how easy it is to fall into the trap of measuring their worth in likes and followers. Those are the definite negatives of social media, particularly instagram. Of course there are many positives, like seating yourself close to some inspiration, meeting new people, and staying connected. I realize there is good, but in the meantime I think often about the negatives like the things I shared above, and how they effect people. I just wanted to pop on here and say that we aren’t measured by the amount of likes or followers we receive. We don’t need to try to be “instagram worthy” to meet standards…we just need to be you and me. To me, that’s what’s really empowering. Being who we were created to be and embracing it happily and fully. If you look at that explore page, please do it all while knowing you are valued, loved, beautiful, and while everyone on that page has their own gifts, no one else on that page can bring the world all of the gifts that you can as you have a unique purpose and so much to offer the world and others. Keep your heart full of that always. Sing it from the rooftop friends. I’ll keep reminding you.
