I’m not going to lie I have always used the Internet alot. I never really took any notice of what I was looking at, just sitting aimlessly scrolling for hours on end.
Since Nayely died I have been alot more selective of the material I view online. Trying to avoid the endless scrolling or though most days I can’t help it.
What is shocking though is how much s**t is online.
I mean take the photo attached to this blog for instance.
129,000 posts on Instagram relating to baby loss. Now based on the statistics that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage those numbers on Instagram seem very low for such a heartbreaking subject.
However, 3.5 million posts on the same app for glitter nails. I mean seriously.
What the bloody hell are we doing as human beings that means glitter nails gets over 25 times more exposure than babyloss.
I know it’s a taboo subject and the purpose of these blogs is to try and break down societies resistance when it comes to talking about these matters.
We always knew it was going to be bloody hard work spreading our message but when we are trying to get voices heard over people who think that the state of their nails is something people might care about it seems like it’s going to be an even bigger task than we thought.
