Dear Social Media,
I remember sleepless nights full of hopelessness and jealousy
Thinking, "why me?" and "why not me?" Because I stood out in a sea of thin girls
With their Hepburn quotes and sport trophies,
sunbathing and wild parties.
You pointed out how I wasn't like them,
With my thick thighs and Tim Burton humor,
stage makeup and solitude.

The confidence I built and embraced before you came along
You chipped away at with each party I could see I hadn't been invited to,
Each gigantic smile I scrolled past when I was lonely and sad,
Each post someone had with more "likes" or "comments" than mine.
You preyed on my fears, showed me how I was separate and different,
Made me feel like the life I was living wasn't good enough.
You filled me instead with an ugly, green slime I could taste in my mouth, that rotted my heart.
And the more I began to turn towards hate, the more I came crawling back to you
To validate my jealousy, to validate my fears that everyone was against me.
And you were like a drug, and there was nothing rose-tinted about you.
And you, Social Media, imposed yourself on me, gained access and controlled my life for years
Until one day, for just a flash, your thick mist cleared and I saw the Light:

The world, its people are not divided into "good" and "bad" or "this" or "that."
We have it all inside of us, the capacity to grieve, the capacity to laugh,
The capacity to hurt, the capacity to heal,
The capacity to hate, the capacity to love.
All of it is inside of each of us, the Universe resides inside all of us,
And we have the power to choose how we express ourselves, how we live our life.
So I looked at myself through your mirror, Social Media,
The mirror caked with layers of green slime, and realized it reflected what was inside me
And I no longer wanted to be part of division, derision, opposition, and lies.
I wanted to turn my gaze higher and reach for the skies.
Through grace and love, I washed away the slime. -Skyler
