“I try to use my social media as a way to spread more positivity and humor instead of allowing it be a fake or negative source of energy.” “People want to be important,” said Dearen. “I know people who would not eat for a day or not pay rent if they can buy something name brand that will make them look important. It’s super cutthroat in L.A. When you’re out at a club, girls only want to be friends with girls who have even more followers than them. It’s terrible but people will do whatever it takes. That’s just how it is.” However, the filtering processes Kardashian goes through to maintain her brand has contributed to maintaining unattainable standards of beauty. Her notorious naked “Break the Internet” cover with PAPERMAG was heavily photoshopped and received an unprecedented amount of attention both in traditional and social media channels. While some celebrities use their popularity on social media as a way to intrigue people and increase their follower count, many celebrities use it as an opportunity to combat the impossibly high beauty standards set by the fashion world and offer a more realistic understanding of the negative effects of photoshop and filters. "A lot of times I get frustrated because people will, without my consent, Photoshop my body, and it doesn't look like my own body,” said Demi Lovato in a 2015 interview with Teen Vogue. Lovato recently released a documentary about her lifelong struggles with bulimia, depression and other mental health issues. She often uses social media as a platform to discuss self-love and overcoming her personal struggles. Less rising above reality, more having honest discussions. Less fantasy, more sincerity. Less filter, more conversation. “Social media is a way to connect with people,” said Willen. “It allows us to express ourselves in whatever way we choose, and to share that with people we know or strangers who have the same interest. I try to use my social media as a way to spread more positivity and humor instead of allowing it be a fake or negative source of energy.” Instead of filtering ourselves, we should be filtering the content we view and setting standards of honesty for ourselves. Everyone wants to look their best and feel their best, but many of our “picture-perfect” practices on social media contribute to an overall higher standard of beauty that is simply unattainable. Social media is an incredible way to learn about the lives of others and share our own interests- it’s a way to be ourselves. So let’s let it be just that.
