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

"When you don’t feel like a cow or a horrible life destroyer, then you realize 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.
