I’m going to write about what has inspired me to do more of this ultra real real stuff lately even though I’m always real, I do feel pressure to look or be a certain way and that’s what our society promotes and it’s stupid and I’ve been dealing with a few predictably tragic and stupid situations where I’m calling out things that are wrong and in the WAAL way - and you’ll see what I mean eventually lol. Anyway have a beautiful Friday 🖤(it is Friday right?) #WAAL #nomakeup #real #fyp #comingsoon

3/13 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's world, there is an overwhelming pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards, especially on social media platforms. The WAAL movement, which stands for "We Are All Liars," challenges this by celebrating authentic self-expression and rejecting the artificial norms often pushed by society. It's refreshing and empowering to see a community that values realness over polished perfection. From my personal experience, embracing such raw honesty about appearance and emotions has been liberating. I used to feel the need to hide fatigue, imperfections, or weaknesses, but joining conversations around WAAL has made me realize that showing vulnerability is a strength. The phrase "real is beautiful even when the world says 'ugly'" resonates deeply because it acknowledges the hard work and genuine emotions behind each person's journey. Furthermore, the WAAL philosophy supports those dealing with mental health challenges, substance struggles, or feelings of being misunderstood. It promotes no shame in showing true selves, such as appearing tired or having a "needs-to-shower" look—signs of real life that many hide. This mindset fosters a sense of community and pride, helping individuals break free from stigma and embrace their stories. Incorporating the #nomakeup and #real hashtags encourages people to post unfiltered content, which is both inspiring and healing. It reminds us that beauty isn’t just skin-deep but intertwined with authenticity and resilience. Celebrating the imperfect helps combat the toxic effects of comparison and unrealistic ideals. Overall, the WAAL movement offers a powerful reminder: prioritizing honesty and personal truth enhances self-worth and mental well-being. For anyone feeling pressured to fit into a mold, embracing the WAAL spirit can be a transformative step toward freedom and genuine self-love.

Going Analog in 2026
Things I want to do in 2026 to live slower and with less screens- 1. Join a club or small church group - face-to-face conversation and connection feels so lost in the age of social media, and with it, the sense of community. This is my attempt at feeling connected to people instead of screens.
