I like my social media space to be somewhere very positive... I

The words of Poppy Delevingne, “I like my social media space to be somewhere very positive… I like to just be able to share any images they see, or a piece of art or an item of clothing, and get to share that with the world,” rise as a reflection of the age we live in—an age where the marketplace of ideas has become vast, unbounded, and immediate. She speaks not of power or fame, but of the yearning to create a sanctuary of joy, where expression uplifts rather than wounds, and beauty can flow freely across the great web that binds humanity together.

The origin of such desire lies in the paradox of social media itself. It was born as a tool for connection, yet it has often become a forge of envy, anger, and division. Against this tide, Delevingne seeks to reclaim its noblest form: to remind us that these spaces may yet be gardens instead of battlegrounds. A simple image, a treasured work of art, a beloved piece of clothing, shared with sincerity, can become a thread that unites strangers in delight rather than discord.

Consider the story of the early Renaissance in Florence, when works of art by masters like Botticelli or Brunelleschi were not confined to palaces, but placed in public squares and chapels. These creations did not merely glorify their patrons, but gave common people access to beauty that stirred the soul. In much the same way, to share art or fashion today on digital platforms echoes this ancient act—bringing inspiration to the multitude, lifting weary hearts through beauty made visible.

Her emphasis on positivity is more than preference; it is resistance. For to choose joy in a medium where bitterness often reigns is to plant light where shadows gather. The act of curating a positive space is an act of guardianship over one’s own spirit and the spirits of those who wander into that digital garden. It is a call to others: here is a place where beauty is honored, where kindness is not weakness, where sharing is celebration rather than contest.

The lesson is clear: the world does not hunger only for news, debate, or power—it hungers also for beauty, joy, and inspiration. By sharing such things, however simple, one contributes to the healing of the collective spirit. A single image may brighten a darkened heart; a piece of clothing may remind someone of the joy of self-expression; a glimpse of art may awaken dreams long dormant.

Let this be remembered: the spaces we create, whether in stone or on screens, bear the imprint of our intention. If we fill them with anger, they become prisons; if we fill them with beauty, they become sanctuaries. And so the wisdom of Delevingne endures—make your social media a beacon of positivity, and you will not only enrich your own soul, but also cast ripples of light across the vast and waiting world.
