I haven’t been sleeping much, because I’ve been thinking and
writing when I should be resting behind closed eyes. But I’ve been realizing
how much we conform to please; its like society has the ultimate example laid
out for us. Show us how great your life is, how pretty your home is, how many
followers you have, but does that fulfill your heart when you lay your head
down alone at night? Social media is dominating our relationships. We can hide
behind it so easily; I am incredibly guilty of it myself. We want to be liked,
& there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It only becomes dangerous
when those are the only relationships we are actively cultivating.
Life needs to be more about learning ourselves inside and
out before we just trail along with this idea in our minds that we need to make
our lives look more appealing. We will slowly become exhausted and unfulfilled.
Life needs to be more about embracing every inch of our being and learning to
be confident in who we were made to be. You are absolutely perfect. There is
nothing anyone can do to take away your worth. Your only obligation is to learn
who that is and live and give from that, something I am still figuring out. Believe
in yourself and hold your head up high and know in your gut you are worth it. Keep figuring it out; take time to learn what
makes your heart race and what keeps the gallons of blood pulsating through
your veins. Though your hands may be trembling, they are yours, and yours
alone.
i love this. such a deep conviction on my heart lately has been to put down social media. it isnt real. its fun, its creative, its a memory book of posed simple photographs. but it isnt reality.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that video too.
also, i said it isnt real, but here i am connecting with you via instagram and blogger. and i am thankful for that because your heart (edited or not) shines through. and i think the blogging world needs that transparency.
