Needless to say it, that social media is not the reality. But, yet, we tend to find ourselves trapped int he illusion that it is. We forget that we might be doing it too: smiling for the camera when we are sad, pretend to be happy when we are suffering, acting rich when broke, and so on. And even if we do it too, and we know it's not how we really feel in that moment, we forget all logic when we see a post from someone who seem to be living their best life. We look at them and they seem to have it all together, all figured it out, while we can't seem to find our way in the world.
It's not true. It's not the reality. We know it! We should stop suffering and putting pressure on ourselves to be this perfect human being. No one is. No one.Someone told me once that if we would be perfect, we would be up in Heaven, being an angel. While we're here on Earth, we're not perfect-perfect. We're well and not so well, we have good days and bad days, we have days when we're so happy that our hearts bursts with joy and we feel like we're flying, and we have days that we feel so down that it feels like there's no where lower we can go. We have messy moments, and put-together moments. We are brave and we are scared. We love and we fall out of love. We are kind and we are mean. We feel like conquering the world, and we feel as lazy as can be. We are all that. We are never just one thing. We are humans. And aren't we beautiful?
Don't we look back over time in awe of how wonderful we were in those imperfect moments, and how everything worked out so beautifully? We rarely look at our moments when we were "perfect" and laugh or smile. We usually do that when we think about the moments when we messed up and yet everything turned out amazing.
I see the word "perfect" as something different now. We are perfect just as we are, because if everyone on this Earth is imperfect, in this case, being imperfect means that we are actually perfect. We are just like everyone else, but each with their own struggles, challenges and way of seeing life and acting upon it.
So you are perfect! :)
