“Life online can be adorable and funny and connected and it can also be a manifestation of deep insecurity and faux perfection.”

She recently posted a heartfelt message on Instagram about the effects of social media and body image, saying, "Normally exposing myself like this would feel mortifying and inappropriate to me."
In her photo caption, she wrote about how she could've made her abs in the photo above look perfect, but then she'd be complicit in having young women feel terrible about their own bodies.
