vloggers are insane they open themselves up to so much cruelty I could not do it. like i was in a store and the saleswoman was a little rude to me and i cried. and vloggers do that as a living!!!!

So, I'm a bit curious to know how people think social media has affected their own body image.

As always, please reblog for a larger sample size.

Age ranges determined by the minimum age of users of the major social media sites when they were launched. (Myspace launched in 2002, so a user would (theoretically) have had to be at least 13 to make an account, a 13 year old in 2002 is now 34.)

2002 Myspace (34), 2004 Facebook (32), 2006 Twitter (30), 2007 Tumblr (29) / 2010 Instagram (26), 2011 Snapchat (25) / 2014 Music.ly (22)*, 2017 TikTok (19)

it's amazing how ordinary objects can become so significant to only the owner

when my aunt's best friend passed away, my younger brother was four years old. at his funeral, my brother went up to her and gave her a nickel. he told her very solemnly that it would make her feel better. she smiled for the first time in days, and tucked it in her wallet.

when my brother was 22, his best friend passed away unexpectedly. my aunt drove three hours to be there for him at the funeral. she went up to my brother, gave him a big hug, and then gave him a nickel. it was the same nickel; she had kept it in her wallet for 18 years, and now it's on a necklace that he never takes off.

what i'm trying to say is that the love you put into the world will always find its way back to you.
