In social news feeds, we see images of happy people living happy lives. Celebrities, success and smiling selfies would have you think that life is great, and could hardly get any better. Commercial culture has turned us all into advertisers who portray our lives through a public relations filter.
Looking around at everyone’s enviable circumstances, you may sometimes wonder if you are the only one who is hurting, scared, lost, suffering or feeling alone. It can seem like it’s not safe to pull back the glossy mask of presentation and share the challenging truths of our humanity.
Within these pages, the brave models of Model Society reveal glimpses of wounded humanity so you can see that you are not alone. Help us welcome vulnerable humanity out from the shadows and into the light of acceptance. There is an opportunity for us to celebrate one another as beautiful, even during life’s most difficult moments.
