Today’s prompt: “How are you changing the world?”

I’d like to think that I’m changing the world just by being who I am. I find that when I’m on social media, I find more people who want to be the same; they want to follow the same trends, look like celebrities, be like what the “ideal” or “top tier” people look like on social media. There’s discussion of being yourself, but seeing how everyone is intaking the same information, and trying to be the same in a way, it shows me that the most unique thing you can do is be yourself.

And that in itself is changing the world because we need more of that. We need to see more of the normal, the challenges, the truth in every day life. And through my poetry, motivational content, and writing in general, I’m praying that I’m changing the world.

It isn’t to say that people can’t try new things, or try to change in ways they feel are best for them, because that’s also changing the world too. I’d just like to see more of the authentic versions of people, and less of the social media version.

I hope I’m challenging myself in that daily, and encouraging others to be truth to themselves too.
