Social media captures only a glimpse of what someone is willing to show you, but completely abandons everything else. You donβt get to see what goes on behind closed doors.
You get to see:
A perfect life.
A perfect body.
A perfect partner.
You donβt get to see:
The disarray.
The insecurities.
The arguments.
Blemishes are concealed. And while people are completely entitled to their privacy and under no obligation to disclose the messiness of their lifeβitβs so easy to forget that THAT does go on.
Itβs so easy to get wrapped up in believing someone actually lives a perfect life when all you see is perfectionism.
And this is why self confidence feels beyond your reachβyou surrender to something that doesnβt exist. As a result, youβre robbed from your confidence and your worth because youβll always be imperfect.
But, my darling, those imperfections donβt define youβthey just make you human, like the rest of us.
No one, absolutely NO ONE, has their shit together. Your life, my life, her life. Itβs completely chaotic, disorganized, and flawedβeven though you donβt see it.
So, be conscious of what youβre consuming. Question the realness of it. And donβt compare yourself to peopleβs filtered lives...or at all.
Keep doing your thang, keep doing your best. Radiate in your beautyβitβs pretty bright, youβre pretty bright and your flaws donβt dim that light.
Love,
Devi
