Media and Self-Worth

I've been thinking a lot lately about how big of an influence media has on our confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth.  My Facebook feed is always filled with girls just begging for attention and reassurance that they are beautiful, talented, and have it all together.  They may not realize it, but post after post is negative and girls just obviously want others to compliment them and say good things.  There's nothing wrong with this I guess, but it seems like we are living in an age where everything is public.  Since this is the case, we see everything everybody does and that can take a toll on what we think of ourselves.  People have become so wrapped up in what others think of them, and their self-worth seems to be nonexistent!  It breaks my heart.  I'm not the type of girl to thrive off of what others think of me, and nobody should be like that!  We all care about what others think to some extent, but it shouldn't define us.  Media plays such a big role in this and I just wish it would play a positive role, making us more confident and raising our self-esteem!  But websites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. make this nearly impossible.  Sometimes I have to log off of Pinterest because I find that I feel bad for myself because I don't have the perfect house, fancy meals prepared every night, a gorgeous wardrobe, or the ridiculously fit body that I see on my Pinterest feed.  I think we all just need to take a step back and remember that social media should not influence who we are by comparing ourselves to others.  I wish everyone would realize this!  You are all beautiful, and doing just fine!  You don't have to be Pinterest perfect or have the most Facebook friends to have self-worth.  We are all loved so much by our Heavenly Father and that should be what we care about most. :)
