Riches, fame, and clout come with a deceitful price. That''s the ideology we have been manipulated into believing. "#obsessed: Instagram Exposes Humanity" unmasks the dark and devious side of Instagram, a popular social platform contaminated by fabricated personalities and artificial intelligence. Inside, you''ll uncover their secrets and learn just how deep and twisted their desperation is to obtain and maintain their loyal followers. Instagram has taken over the social media world by exploiting the narcissistic egos of human beings, a deadly app that requires no effort, and if done right, seduces people into believing any dream is attainable on the Internet. Behind the mirrors of those perfect selfies and flawless filters exist carefully calculated maneuvers and nefarious schemes to make followers trust that perception is reality, tactics used by influencers to rise up the supremacy hierarchy. What appears as perfection may in fact be nothing more than computer-generated backdrops and extreme photo editing. No one is who they claim to be.

At birth, no child says they plan to devastate their lives, but as time, circumstances, and the stressors of life mount, the pressures can become overwhelming. For Lena, nowhere was that truer than in her life. What began as a seemingly innocuous effort to quiet the chaos and gain control of one tiny facet of her life, soon spiraled into something bigger, much more harmful. When the anorexia could no longer maintain control, bulimia became the next best option, but that too, eventually fell victim to chaos. "Shamefully Vanished: A Memoir of a Girl Out of Control" chronicles the downward spiral of a young woman who looked for solace in all the wrong places, with potentially deadly vices, and found herself in and out of treatment, psychiatric facilities, and countless emergency rooms. Though this is a memoir, it is also a cautious, yet familiar, tale for anyone who has ever struggled with an eating disorder, a loss of control, high anxiety, depression, or any other seemingly impossible situation. Lena's story is written as both a cautionary tale and a glimmer of hope for anyone who has ever felt like the world forgot about them, or has gone to drastic measures to forget about themselves and their own lives.

They linger, confined, inside their impetuous and neurotic minds of self-mutilation, perpetual accusations, and malicious manipulations in attempts to pursue unknown cravings.

High levels of impulsivity also trigger borderline sufferers to engage in physical and emotional self-injurious behaviors when the universe fails to align with their severe philosophies.The Emotional MindThe human race remains indefinitely captive inside the emotional mind. Emotions dictate our everyday judgments and responses as opposed to our logical and rational mind, acting on lack of inhibitions and repressed traumatic pain despite cognizance.

However, how many of us will actually put in the work to achieve that, and how fatal will we go to reach that prominence if it means never having to lift a finger?

Descartes once said that human beings are predisposed to become certain individuals with innate mindsets that cannot be changed.

"Letters to the Forgotten" is a reminder to those who are struggling with problems of everyday life, whether they are stress, depression, anxiety, fear, heartbreak, etc.. "Letters to the Forgotten" helps remind everyone that they are special JUST the way they are, and despite what anyone says, do not need to be constructed into someone they are not. We are all perfect in our own ways when we stay true to ourselves. Our lives are our own; others have no right to tell us that we are not good enough, or how we should live our lives. When we believe in ourselves, and accept ourselves for who we are, we become the best versions of ourselves. When we stand by the warrior we were born to be, we transcend above all negativity. When we learn to live, we discover that we have much more potential than others give us credit for. We can live and love the way we want when we learn to live and love for ourselves. We are stronger than external forces. Unleash our inner strengths and become our own individual heroes.Never give anyone the power to make you miserable. No one deserves your suffering, and no one is in the right place to exude power over you. When you give that right away, you give your soul away. Your soul makes you whole. Your soul gives a breath of life and optimism to everyone you encounter. If you do not have your soul, if you give your power away to another human being, you have nothing. We can still lose our jobs, our looks, our money, even our loved ones, and we can still strive for greatness and prosperity, but when we lose ourselves, we lose our chance at life and happiness. Popularity, success, and relationships mean nothing if we do not have ourselves, our true selves. Do not try to live the life of someone else because it is not worth losing yourself. Do not be envious of the life of someone else because, somewhere out there, someone is envious of the life you have. Do not change. Be the change. Be the one who finally stands up to the hatred of others.
