Even though only 10% of my audience actually reads Even though only 10% of my audience actually reads my posts, there are still 3,000+ beautiful souls that believe in The Butterfly Empire. 2015 Meghan would be ecstatic and beside herself. ⁣ ⁣ 2020 Meghan is eternally grateful but tired. Very tired. ⁣ ⁣ I have always been honest with you, and that’s not about to change. So here it goes... ⁣ ⁣ Lately, social media has been extremely draining and toxic to my mental health and overall wellbeing. With my home state drowning in ash, the injustices in our country, fake people buying fake followers, personal hardships... it’s overwhelming. I have thought many times about deleting everything and disappearing. Social media is oversaturated. Who would miss me anyway. ⁣ ⁣ We spend so much time glued to an IMAGINARY life online while we neglect to live our REAL life. I need authenticity more than ever right now, but when I open social media, all I see is pain. ⁣ ⁣ We will never be satisfied with the numbers we have. Never. We crave the validation from strangers. We want others to know we’re “popular” and “trendy”. We want free products and to be the highest on the food chain. Why though? Our coffins will be the same size. ⁣ ⁣ When you die, no one is going to stand at your funeral and say, “Wow. She had a lot of followers and likes.”⁣ ⁣ They will remember your compassion. Your kindness. Your fiery spirit. Your heart and how you made them FEEL. ⁣ ⁣ What happened to genuine connections? True friendships? Not social climbing and selfish agendas. ⁣ ⁣ We neglect our actual, real life friends and family to focus on an app. How sad is that? Sometimes we only see them to fill a square on our page. ⁣ ⁣ I am in no way pointing a finger. I’m equally as guilty with feeding the social media monster, but I want to break the cycle. ⁣ ⁣ That being said... social media has introduced me to SO many incredible people, and I treasure every single one of you. My life is better and brighter because of you. 😭⁣ ⁣ The Butterfly Empire will not be going anywhere, and I will never stop creating. I only ask that you grant me grace as I try to find the right balance between life and social media. ⁣ ⁣ Who else struggles with social media?

“We are all made of stardust. We were always mea “We are all made of stardust. We were always meant to shine.” ✨⁣ ⁣ Nice quote, but I’m pretty sure I was made out of sarcasm, pumpkin spice, cat hair, Disney and @lights lyrics. ⁣ ⁣ What are you made of?
