idea of her
idea of her. this is my comparison journey. i had this perfect image of her. she was perfect. she got straight A's, had her whole life figured out, and had the cutest clothes. no problems. no worries. nothing. she was free from everything sad and hurtful. she had the best friendships and the best adventures.
but that's just not the truth.
every girl compares herself to her. that other girl in your mind. she is better than you will ever be. she is perfect. but again that's not true. you are who you are. you can't change that! social media has a huge impact on the ways girls see themselves. you need the right body, the right boyfriend, the right everything. but that's not true. why? because God made you special. and not only that, comparing yourself means losing sight of the real and true you.
for me social media isn't a big deal because i don't have an instagram, snapchat or facebook (but in my opinion facebook is for old people) but i do have a pinterest, and when you login, it has a huge sign that says YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! you'd think "it's just for ideas", yeah ideas of having the right house, the right relationship goals, the right body. the right everything. it wants you to create boards of things you want, but don't have. it's like a visual wish list of your life. and i'm guilty of spend hours on there just pinning useless stuff. in the next ten years nothing i pin will matter. but yet i still do it.
it's not bad to want to improve your life but completely changing it because people influence you isn't good. but i, like many girls, buy into the lie of wanting to look my best always. now, looking your best in itself isn't bad, but when it consumes your life and you want to look good all the time isn't good either. there is a time when i just wanna wear my pjs or when i want to be comfy, not in a dress and be wearing full make-up. because that's not reality. i don't want to wake up and look like a Kardashian with full make-up, hair done and dressed to the T. some will say "but why not"? like i said before, that's not reality. that's her saying that.
so the next time you catch yourself thinking with the mentality of her, remember to think with the mentality of reality.
