MENTAL HEALTH & SOCIAL MEDIA

Let's make something clear: my body confidence is, at times, very low.

I've never been able to unconditionally love absolutely everything about my body – something I'm sure most people can relate to. Sometimes it's my stomach, sometimes it's my nose or my teeth or my chin. Lately, I've noticed how social media has had a massive impact on the way I see and feel about my body.

I am well aware how, these days, people have gotten particularly good at Photoshop and Facetune and I also know (deep down) that no one would ever share something they don't particularly like or are 100% content with. Despite my common sense, I can't help but scroll through my Instagram feed and feel like I am not enough.
You're basically almost expected to have it all: perfect body, perfect face, amazing outfit, lots of money and great photography skills. And let's not forget about the constant pressure of getting tonnes of likes and followers – something I have yet to master I'm afraid.

I've Got FOMO And It's Getting Bad.

Yes, I admit it. I've got FOMO and it's getting bad.

For those of you who still don't know what FOMO is (seriously, do you live under a rock?!), it's basically just a Fear Of Missing Out – and mine has to do with summer.
Summer started (and it's already almost over – insane!), I finished working, I went back home in Italy for the holidays yet my FOMO got worse.

Why, oh why do people have to share on every single social media how much fun they're having whilst on holiday when there's people here that can barely leave the house?
And don't get me wrong – the weather here has been beautiful, but hey, not everyone can afford a holiday, am I right?
Especially if you're in your 20s already struggling to survive without money whilst still getting an education and trying not to starve yourself at the same time  – I'd say an holiday is definitely NOT part of the plan, aye? 

Yet every time I open Instagram I get spammed by all these beautiful scenarios, beaches, cities.. UGH! 
So, what can you really do to fight this horrible FOMO? Well, uhm.. I hate to be this honest with you all but, how can I put it in a nice way.. You can't, ha!
I'm afraid we'll just keep browsing the internet stalking people on holiday and wishing we were there having fun.

God.. Is it winter yet?!

And just in case your FOMO wasn't bad already I'll just share with you a couple of photos I took last year when I was in paradise (AKA Sardinia) and my FOMO was basically non-existent. 

You're very welcome.
