What I learned after taking insta seriously

So if you would’ve told me a year ago that I would be posting more on socials I would’ve looked at you crazy. Ever since I started dating my boyfriend he has taken the best pictures of me these pictures included which has inspired me to take more pictures. But what I have learned is…

•You HAVE to be consistent which is something I personally struggle with because I’m not an influencer (yet) so I get lazy sometimes lol

•You likes don’t define you!! At least to me if I post a picture and get 6 likes all 6 of those people saw the absolute bangers I posted. That’s 6 more people compared to yesterday. I honestly treat my socials like a blog and take y’all everywhere. Kinda like my besties🤭

•DONT compare yourself to others!! Everyone is unique and beautiful. I cannot stress that enough but we are human and it is inevitable at times. But that’s completely normal but you have to constantly tell yourself how beautiful you are. Being on this app has showed me sooo many beautiful people you included. :)

•Get to know yourself. When my boyfriend started taking pictures of me I was soooo awkward I didn’t know how to pose what faces to make etc. but what has helped me is going on Pinterest or instagram and finding poses I like and doing them in the mirror before I go out. As silly as it sounds it works!! At least for me.

• Don’t be afraid to try new things! I feel like this is so important because it starts off small like taking a selfie and then it grows and develops into taking pictures and not caring who’s around. I’m not gonna lie sometimes I get nervous but it gets easier every time.

If you made it this far thank you for reading lovely. If you like what you see follow me for more content. And if you don’t…. Brb gonna go cry lol jk but I’m not for everyone and that’s okay I hope your day is just as great.

... Read moreTaking Instagram seriously can lead to personal growth and creativity. Start by establishing a consistent posting schedule, as consistency helps build an engaged audience. It's crucial to remember that social media likes do not define your worth; it's more about sharing your experiences and connecting with others. Each engagement signifies real people appreciating your content. Comparison culture on social media can be overwhelming. Instead of focusing on others, concentrate on your journey and growth. Everyone's path is unique, and embracing your individuality is vital. Exploring various poses can be a fun way to discover what makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Tools like Pinterest can provide inspiration and help build your posing confidence. Trying new things is essential for personal development, whether that means capturing a casual selfie or experimenting with different photography angles. It's natural to feel nervous at first, but each experience will become easier over time. Taking those first steps towards being more visible on your social media can lead to exciting personal adventures and new connections. Embrace vulnerability in your online presence, and you’ll foster authenticity in your interactions!
