Blur’s first body image issue was created so that we can blur the line of feeling not good enough in our skin and replace this feeling by having more self love. Confidence comes from within ourselves and is expressed in many different forms from the clothing we wear on our body to taking the time out our day to appreciate ourselves and what our body does for us. There is no surprise that social media impacts how we feel in our bodies by the way harsh content and society’s unattainable beauty standards can leave us feeling overwhelmed by the content we consume online. Reminding ourselves that we all have the power to make our mindset more positive and you do not have to love your body all the time but that’s okay, you can appreciate it’s strength for what it does for you. Blur, which is defined as when something becomes less distinct or unclear or a thing that can not be heard or seen clearly. I feel that many people online can hide and conceal their true identity
because we are afraid how others may view or perceive us and possibly of others judgement is overpowering. Women especially are directly impacted by their image due to the fake body standards that sometimes we can aspire to look like, we need to remind ourselves that this standard is not real and it is fake. In my own experiences this can cause individuals to crop themselves out of images which draws upon my own past feelings of being invisible within my body. I personally have felt that I can slip into blurring and cropping myself out of images because of the way I feel I'm supposed to look when actually I should think about myself and how I feel before I think of others. However I feel that sometimes we are told to not care about what other people think but as human beings we are always going to want other people satisfaction and praise so rather than trying not to care at all just simply try to care less and put yourself first more.
