With over 2.7 billion smartphone users worldwide, social media plays a massive part in people's day-to-day lives. And with algorithms creating such a personalized experience, every individual has a different journey. Due to this journey being so tailored, it can sometimes make people feel alone in their experiences and impact negatively on their mental health. This photo essay asked individuals to briefly reflect on their journey and then write a personal statement expressing how they genuinely feel about social media. By taking part in this project, these statements now allow others to take a step back from these platforms that demand "perfection" and will hopefully teach them to lead a more balanced lifestyle.
