      Mental health and suicide prevention is so important topics today because, due to unrealistic beauty standards, and been exposed to negativity online pertaining to racial discrimination and gender. It influenced me by making me realize just how miserable people are, I mean.. Looksmaxxing? All of those terms... People are literally breaking bones in their face. So they can have more pronounced cheekbones. And when people see too much of that online all the time because our phones are always, always always in our hands, it will distort our reality, our lives to what is shown on tiktok. What is shown on Instagram. I mean it has gotten really bad. Like Me personally, I gotten into that looksmaxxing stuff, and then I had to stop myself and actually think. I am only 18. I have not grown into my features of my face yet. So there's time I would try to fix my for you page to my actual interests. Like funny Tv shows, like sitcom shows from the 90s and movies from the 70s-2000s and anime and other small communities on these platforms, like Instagram and TikTok and Twitter. Especially Twitter. I mean there is one main looksmaxxer, and his skin his face is literally rotting. Due to him being on meth and other drugs. And he's literally racist too. And mind you he also overdosed. Like.. Twice. And deep down it literally made me realize that all of this stuff is literally fake. Which I should've known that sooner. And I have to build up my friends confidence also for their looks because african features are stigmatized online. Like big noses and strong features. And help them look at their skin complexion like it's beautiful and which it is. So yes I build up my people. Their hair textures, their noses, their eyes, skin, everything. I help build them up. And how this inspired my career aspirations is, well, I want to be in a field that is full of people that look like me. And which since I am going to school to be a nurse. I will. And I'm happy for that. But even then, people are going to be people. And be ignorant even in those specific fields. And I have to mentally prepare myself for this world. And mentally prepare for people and know how to respond to ignorance, racism, and unfairness in this said career field. Which is nursing.
