Does anyone else realize and feel like sometimes you just
need to step away and take a breather from social media? I find it easy, real
easy, to get caught up in other people’s lives and start comparing my life to
theirs. There are days I may hate my outfit and I’m not feeling pretty enough,
or not feeling successful in my choices in life or even bummed that I haven’t
been on an extravagant vacation in some time. Then by just simply taking a stroll down
Instagram I am suddenly feeling a little more down about those feelings. So, while I feel like I have my life somewhat
together and there isn’t a lot of reason to compare it is easy to do.
I have recently just realized that often people’s lives appear oh so perfect according to their Facebook statues, 140 character tweets,
blog posts or Insta pics but in reality things are completely different.
Sometimes not so dramatic but it some cases shockingly different. I came across
this article: "Overcoming the Fear of Not Being Good Enough" on another blog post {Sorry I cannot remember which one} but this
just screams truth. It is really hard to
remember this as you see so many perfect
lives portrayed online. Now, while trying not to feel bad that I may have not
made a five course meal, finished three devotionals or ordered a dress in size
tiny I am doing alright.
I am pretty proud of the woman I have become and the life I
live for myself and while comparison is evilly sent by Satan I do live a far
more wonderful life than what he would like for me.
