Cristina Zenato Instagram – In a world where you can be anything, be yourself.
It seems such a simple statement, but it has become harder and harder to follow.
During the last few days, while attending DEMA, I have had the opportunity to share many conversations with individuals from all walks of life and age groups. I have found that for women, and younger women in particular, it’s a challenging task.
Every day, the best lives of others bombard us, filtered to make them appear always happy and perfect- in many cases, not even themselves. It has become harder to see images of these modified, perfectly AI-designed faces and then stare into the mirror and tell our true selves, “ You are perfect, you are doing great, you are worth it. “
From the beginning, I decided not to filter my images, change my appearance, and post them as they are so that when someone meets me in real life, they can recognize me 😂 but also connect with the real me.
It is not easy, but it has become so worth it.
And that not only goes for my looks but also for my nature. While we learn to be social and share space with others, I have also decided that I will not justify who I am and my choices.
Our choices are ours; they can not be filtered through other’s projections of their experiences; it is important to realize that we need to do what makes us happy, without hurting others, of course, and not what we should do to make others happy, they have their path to complete. | Posted on 17/Nov/2023 20:10:34
