The distorting mirror of social networks
One of the hallmarks of Léna Situations' YouTube channel are its "August vlogs".
Videos where they show her daily life during the last summer month, at the rate of one video per day.
But unlike many influencers, she also talks about tough times.
Like last year, where her love story ended after 7 years of relationship.
"I don't want to participate in this complex, which we can have because of people who show only the hyper positive and nice part of their life on social networks," she explains.
"It's nice to show a whole universe, an aesthetic, but I think we must also reassure those who watch our videos, because we identify with what we see and compare ourselves."

Keep your privacy partly secret
This sharing of his personal life does not prevent him from protecting his privacy.
"I play the honesty card: 'Today is complicated. I'll explain why'", describes the YouTuber.
"I'm still careful not to go into too much detail or give too much information. I have my secret garden. But something bad is going on in my life, I'm talking about it. I'm doing it too. to show that we can overcome it and that it happens to everyone. "
But it's hard to keep a private life when you're so much in the spotlight.
In February 2020, his love affair with the youtubeur Seb la Frite was unveiled without their agreement.

The happiness of doing rather than having
But according to Léna Mahfouf, social networks are not the only provider of complexes.
She explains that for a while she compared herself to her classmates, from more affluent backgrounds than her family of artists.
"It was based only on the material: their bags, their clothes, etc.", comes the videographer.
"Intellectual capacity, I didn't even think about it. Ambition, I didn't even think about it Looking back, I say 'what the hell you were dumb'."
The 22-year-old therefore decided to stop comparing herself to others, on social networks as in real life.
"It has been a real life lesson for me to understand that happiness is doing something you actually love, rather than what your daddy can buy as a Christmas present."
A happiness today granted, since Léna Situations now lives from its videos and its partnerships with major brands.
