“I’m concerned about how young girls try to live up to standards that do not exist on social media”- Simi voices out

Popular singer, Simi has spoken on how concerned she is about young girls who try to live up to standards that do not exist. The mother of one expressed her displeasure on her Instagram stories.

She further advised ladies to love themselves for who they are and not to try presenting themselves in certain ways in order to be validated.

She wrote,

“Yo LOVE YOURSELF as you are!! Its great to do things for yourself that you want… But the moment you become consumed with looking or presenting yourself a certain way, so people that honestly, truly don’t care about you on social media can tell you you’re popping -it’s only downhill from there.”

“Because you’ll keep on giving up parts of your true self until there’s nothing left. Its human nature. Please, I beg you. Let the most vulnerable version of you be enough. LOVE YOURSELF. VALIDATE YOURSELF. because you’re enough. You will always be enough.”

“Nothing wrong with doing something that makes you happy, just make sure it’s your approval you care about – not random peoples’.

I’m actually super concerned that young girls will have to work harder for a healthy self esteem. Because they’ll be trying to live up to a standard that does not exist.

maybe today post a picture of yourself you think is too ‘basic’ for social media. Post a pic of yourself without a filter if you haven’t in a long time. If not today, then tomorrow or the day after. Without filter and makeup, it’s funny how similar we are.”
