Ugnė Rutkauskienė - a conversation about body image, self-love, and the illusion of social media

Content creator, blogger, and traveler Ugnė (Ananaso kelionės) is interviewed by members of the Children’s Line Advisory Team, Gabrielė and Ugnė.
This time, the conversation is about body image, self-love, and self-acceptance. When asked if she faces any challenges on social media while trying to promote a positive body image, Ugnė replies, "Yes, a lot!"

"When you don’t feel like a cow or a horrible life destroyer, then you realise that those degrading comments are not about you, they are the person’s own pain, they can’t control themselves and are vomiting on everyone. Then angry words slide off like water off a duck’s back, they don’t hurt, and you don’t take them to heart. But I’m also human, and I have my days," says Ugnė.
