Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray sent an inspirational message to her fans and followers as she opened up on using filters on social media.
In her Instagram account, Catriona posted a short video where she can be seen using a filter on the other half of the frame. Catriona shared that although using a photo and video filters are fun, there is also a downside in using it. Catriona also shared that beauty should be defined by oneself.
“Filters are so much fun, and just like makeup – allow us to express ourselves here online. BUT there are so many times I’ve scrolled through social media not taking into account that I’m subconsciously comparing my reality with a filter.
Our definition of beauty is constantly being defined by standards, what we see in the media and what we’re told. But I’m a believer that your beauty should be defined by YOU.
I read a quote online recently about how, when we take photos of the moon and stars of the night sky using a camera and it doesn’t turn out, we easily recognize that the sky is really beautiful in reality, but it’s the camera that’s not able to capture it.
What if we accepted that our beauty isn’t meant to be experienced through a lens? 💭
To whoever is reading this today, you are beautiful. You are worthy. And you are capable. 💖” Catriona wrote in the caption.
