Have you noticed that no matter what you do on social media, someone always has something to say?
Don’t wear makeup or use a filter? They’ll tell you that you look tired, old, or awful.
Use a filter? Suddenly you’re “fake” or “catfishing.”
So which is it?
Whatever happened to simply being kind?
The truth is, social media has made some people far too comfortable criticising complete strangers from behind a screen. Instead of lifting people up, they’re looking for reasons to tear them down.
At the end of the day, none of us owe anyone perfection. We all have insecurities. We all have good days and bad days. Whether someone chooses to post with a filter or without one is nobody else’s business.
Maybe before leaving that nasty comment, ask yourself one question:
Would you say it to someone’s face?
Kindness costs nothing, but it can mean everything.
