BEING REAL
I've been struggling a lot lately with displaying myself on social media. Mostly because I face an internal battle between posting what I want and what I think over people will like. When I first started using social media I always just posted what I wanted to. I didn't care what people thought. If they didn't like it they could unfollow me. Somewhere along the way I stopped being authentic and started to try to be "perfect." It was exhausting and of course I could never live up to it. I was so concerned about getting likes and gaining followers that I lost who I was. I felt so fake and honestly pathetic. I didn't want people to follow me because they thought I was perfect. I wanted them to follow me because they were interested in who I really was and what I had to say. After taking a short break from social media I have decided to just be me. To be REAL. And whoever likes it, likes it and who ever doesn't, doesn't. I couldn't care less. I want my social media platforms to be places of light and glimpses into my incredibly blessed life. I think that if you master who you really are, then people will flock to you naturally. So get ready for more blog posts of my honest opinion and things that I really care about. Cheers to a new journey of being me and being REAL.
xoxo, Carly
