A very different post for you all today. Recently the lovely Becky Sheeran of TalkBeckyTalk on YouTube uploaded a video titled 'My Message To The Haters: Its Ok NOT To Be Perfect' and I felt that it was such an open and honest video about the pressure YouTubers get put under to be perfect just because of the nature of their work, YouTubers are normal people too just like you and I. Although I am currently not a YouTuber I can still relate to how they must feel getting comments containing such nastiness, surely we all can in one way or another.
Within our society and the media there is so much pressure put on everyone to look and be a certain way that it almost makes you forget that actually you don't have to be like everyone else at all.
What happened to being an individual and unique?
We don't all need to be the same and perfect in every way at all, where's the fun in that?
You don't need to be the best at everything and know everything, you wouldn't learn anything if you were. Everyone has their good and bad days, so when someone is having one of those slightly more off days then why do some feel the need to comment on that and bring them down even more, I've always stuck by treating others the way you want to be treated yourself and you'll get the same back. There's a saying that I'm sure a lot of you have heard that goes 'if you've got nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all', and just reading through some of the comments YouTubers get its horrible to see that some people can't stick by that. If you don't like something someone does or how someone looks you don't need to comment, everyone has their own way of doing things, its what gives them their individual personalities and characteristics.
Surely it takes more effort to think of spiteful things to comment rather than nice things, or if its that difficult then don't comment when you know it'll just bring that person down. It can be said that the more negative things stick with us over the positive as it makes people more wary about how they look & what they do, but if there is more positivity and encouragement then things can only get better and there wouldn't be a need for videos such as Becky's as she wouldn't feel so much pressure to be perfect at everything she shows in her videos.
We're all human, learning something new everyday, forever improving upon things we do and learning from our mistakes. If we support each other and give one another that little positivity boost when we each need it then we'd find that everyone would be happier and the communities we live in and those that we create ourselves through online platforms would be much nicer places.
Sorry if you feel this has been a bit of a rant but I'm one of those that likes to support others in their choices and negativity in unnecessary for that.
Until next time my lovelies, thanks for reading. I'll leave Becky's video below for you to watch, she explains things in a much better way than I do but I just wanted to share it with you. Enjoy :) x
(Would love if any readers would like to become followers, much love!)
