start using social media in a healthy way

social media influence our lives; what we consume can affect us in a positive or negative way with these tips you can manage to avoid everything that bothers you and makes you uncomfortable or even causes you insecurities! now you will use the networks in a positive and inspiring way! remember that what you see behind a screen does not reflect reality and the most important thing is how you live your REAL life 🤍

clean up, stop following those accounts that you no longer identify with, that do not interest you or that do not contribute anything positive to you

start being aware of what kind of content you consume and if you need to make a change for the better

follow people who really inspire you and the message they give is positive for you

spend less time online, reduce your daily consumption

don't dedicate your time to online polemics

when you wake up do not check social networks, leave it for much later, when we wake up we need to absorb positive information for us not about other people's lives

set a daily time limit to check your media

don't compare yourself, an instagram picture does not reflect reality

before going to sleep, instead of using networks, read a book or journaling

create a safe space with content that inspires you, brings you something positive or you learn from it

use the internet for your learning and personal development

if something or someone bothers you don't think twice: block them

you can set a time limit to the social networks you used to frequent the most (this only if you are really distracted by them)

start listening to podcasts of your interest while you are doing things (cooking, cleaning or even relaxing)

remember your time should be quality time, don't waste it on things that in the end won't bring you anything positive

with this article i am not suggesting that you stop using the internet, just that for some people it becomes a problem and sometimes we spend too much time on social media and neglect other aspects of our life! 🤍

how to become your dream girl before the year is out

it is never too late to start, you have been putting it off for a long time, you have a lot of information but you don't know how to apply it to your life.

ask yourself how would the best version of yourself act? what would the best version of yourself look like? what are the habits that your best version would have? what are the goals of your best version? what would you like to change to get closer to your best version?

2. take action

after knowing what you can do to improve, put it into practice now. some ideas.

start with new habits

be more organized and disciplined

be aware of your value

have a more positive mindset open to change

change your perspective on things

let go of what doesn't serve or benefit you

more self-love

surround yourself only with things that are good for you (also people)

change your internal dialogue to a more positive one.

start acting the way you would like to be, without fear.

3. feel, act and live like your best self

changing old patterns is not easy, but start doing it by replacing those old habits with ones that add to your life.don't live in the past anymore, start living your present, start acting and being the person you have always dreamed of being that doesn't mean you have to completely change your personality, it means you are improving your lifestyle and the way you perceive yourself and the world, you are changing your perspective to a much more positive one, you don't deserve to keep on living feeling bad about yourself and wishing you were someone else. you have the power to change.

4. create your personal signature

reconnect with the things that you love, inspire and make you feel you. create your personal signature, with your favorite scent (perfume and cream), makeup, clothing and accessories, likes and hobbies, your favorite places, everything that inspires you to be your best version.

but in the end, the first step begins when you start to become aware of your value and that you deserve everything you want.

We were confirmed by nitrile hands and raised in an ocean without the ability 

to sonder.

Where our perceptions and personalities alter, in accordance to the resolution

of blue light.

The color of inspiration meant to influence and contrive, is artificial and we force ourselves to feign.

But the synthetic flame still burns

for better or for worse.

This is my painting that showcases how much sexual desire was emphasized on me during my youth. The internet taught me that I will only be found worthy by showing off my body online.

This is my second piece. I hoped to encapsulate the pressure that was put on my weight by joining the internet at a young age. The internet sadly brainwashed into basing my worth on my weight and if others perceived me as skinny. 

I depicted my body that just became a black soul when I was very ill with an ED. The soul is looking in the mirror to see my sickly self and only thinking those thoughts. Every else was black because nothing else mattered but my weight.

I saw thin girls perceived as so beautiful and placed on pedestals. It became clear that you wouldn’t be deemed as a “pretty girl” if you were heavier. It seemed like the ticket to happiness was just losing weight.

Actually I think there’s a lot to be said about how social media allows harmful subcommunities to exist.

The point of social medias is not to alienate communities that use them. I understand that; it’s a basic marketing strategy. But at what point does this cross an ethical boundary? At what point are you providing a safe space for hatred and harm to fester? To me, edtwt, radfemblr & the Andrew Tate tiktok pipeline are symptomatic of the same online issue: the prioritization of corporate benefit over human life. Multiple times it has progressed past a reasonably safe boundary.

At least I can be confident that Twitter attempts to crack down on this behavior: frequently you will see “block don’t report,” so something is done on that app, but what about Tumblr? A site that prides itself on being inclusive, with a flourishing radfem community? I know it’s kind of fallen on hard times compared to 2012, but…

Social media companies need to be more considerate of, and caring about, their minority users. Full stop. You’d think they’d figure it out when an entire community idolizes an antisemite because she hates trans women..
