Something just nudged me to write this so it’s apparent people need to hear this today and keep it with them tomorrow and everyday that follows.
In today’s society everything is drawn to the social media platforms. It’s about who can out do the next person- friends-neighbors and or the world. Everyone wants to get to the top but is the top even worth the ascend? Life is a journey, not a race to see who can make it to the finish line the fastest. It should be looked at like as a road trip not a drag race.
You see people looking for attention- once again trying to out do.
Body Image- Makeup- Clothing and Finances and the not to be forgotten Likes & Followers. However.....
Body image- remember that photoshop was created for a reason. Filters and the like were created to add a false visual of the the human body because natural isn’t what’s perceived as eye catching- fake is. How many times have the people in the public eye been called out on using photoshopped photos? How many times have you seen even your friends crop out part of their body to make themselves look more appealing? What’s wrong with a few extra curves here or there? Magazines and social media make you think that those extra pounds means there is something wrong with you. How could that even be when there is so much public knowledge of them too- creating a false image of how they really look?
MakeUp- I don’t wear make up but a few times a year- thank goodness for tanning but....I’ve found that even though I buy make up I rarely wear...a 80$ foundation isn’t any better than a drug store 6$ bottle. Cover Girl & Maybelline are still around for a reason. Expensive make up doesn’t make you look any better it only taxes your wallet a lot more. Don’t ever fall for the hype because that’s all it is.
Finances- who really knows how much someone is making - just because it’s on the internet doesn’t make it the truth. Besides that- who cares what others are making. Never take a dollar for face value because morals and ethics must be included in that amount because if they’re not- the amount is mediocre at best! Who are you at your core? Does money really make or break your heart and soul? What you stand for? What you believe in? Never! Money if used correctly is only a tool needed for life. Just because someone else has an extra dollar in their wallet makes them no better than anyone else. That’s another false image created around the dollar bill. I’ve heard the words rich and miserable go hand in hand more than once. Live free. Never attach money with your worth. You are priceless.
You- you are more than enough with exactly how you look- the car you drive- the job you have- the place you call home. You are exactly where you’re meant to be at this moment in time. Even though it may be a difficult moment every moment has a purpose. Not everyday is good but when you appreciate the small things in life you are able to find joy in just about anything.
Right now- today- tomorrow and for the rest of your days you are so much more than enough. Enough is an adequate term when talking about quantity but you didn’t come with a price tag...
YOU ARE PRICELESS ❤️
Last but very well not least is the amount of likes & followers you have on social media. (Sigh) The world we live in today has let this take over their lives and it’s such a disheartening topic. Never for a moment believe that if your photo doesn’t get a zillion likes or your social media account doesn’t have a million followers that you are any less than the one who does. Likes and followers can be bought. I’d much rather have someone genuinely liking my picture than having to pay money for someone to click a heart. Think about that, that’s all that it is!!! Someone scrolls- they CLICK A HEART. Please, never think that you as a one of a kind human being in this world that adds amazing value to so many people is any less of a person because someone didn’t click the heart under your photo or post!! Enough said....
You are one of a kind- stay that way!
