Wanna know what i have to say to this?

FALSE FALSE FALSE.

Social Media to me is a beautiful thing.

It is a way for us to post and share little parts of our lives with other people.

I will be the first to admit I LOVE social media.

Without it, I would have no way to be introduced to different local business, see my little cousins grow up,  see what my friends are up to, and meet so many amazing people!

So why are we so harsh towards other people on social media?

Why don’t we just post what we want and not even think twice about it?

Be Bona Fide is a cute little startup founded by two girls that had enough with people not people REAL out there.

Many people define being “Bona Fide” (adjective: real, genuine) differently.

BONA FIDE to me means being confident in how I carry myself in all situations. Whether that be in real life or on social media, I want to just be MYSELF. We all find different things fascinating and neat so let’s share our taste and thoughts with the world and not care about what they think anymore!

The more I have grown up, the more I have realized that the best people in life are the ones that truly love me no matter my trials or accomplishments.

In the end, LET’S GET REAL.

From now on, I truly don’t care if people don’t like my picture.

Both literally and figuratively.

I am me.

I love pictures.

I love sharing my life with others.

I love others sharing their lives with me!
