Blogger Georgie Clarke has been working on a series to remind her 690K followers not to trust everything they see on social media, and she’s doing one heck of a good job if you ask me.

Each post consists of two side-by-side pictures snapped just a minute apart. The same outfits, same makeup (or the lack of it), same everything. The only difference is the approach; the first one is taken consciously trying to make Clarke look as great as possible while the second looks like a casual shot someone would take to simply remember the moment.

Scrolling through, it becomes clear that all the flawless people we see on our feed that we are constantly measuring ourselves against aren’t that perfect after all. They just remember to flex their muscles and suck in their stomach when they’re in front of the lens while the one who is behind it knows how to find the best light and the most flattering angle.

“It’s no secret that in the past my mental health has affected my physical appearance and how I felt about myself,” the blogger said in one of her posts. “When I used to mentally struggle, my body would be punished as a result. I didn’t take care of myself and I was so critical of myself and how I looked.”

“This was a vicious cycle I dealt with for years without ever getting help or addressing the root of the problems which were happening in my head.”

One of the things that allowed her to do it was honesty, with herself and others

“A few years later and some serious time dedicated to therapy, self-love, and lots of compassion towards myself, I am proud to say I am the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever felt and my relationship with my body is just as important as my relationship with my brain. And wow can you see the difference,” she continued.

“When my mental health struggles now, I have [the] tools to take care of myself. It’s taken so long to learn these tools but with compassion and love for myself during these difficult times, I am able to recognize still how important it is to take care of myself or ask for help.”

Clarke has been posting-side-by-side pictures to show that there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to social media
