I think sometimes we are so worried about everything being perfect that we forget to look at all of the wonderful things in life. And I think we also forget that life will never be perfect. Yeah, it is a hard fact to face. But I think as soon as we can face that fact, life might be a little better.
Social media is hard. It can be wonderful but not wonderful all at the same time. We usually showcase all of the good things in our life -- a friend's wedding, a good date night, a pretty flower, a birth. Then when looking through everyone's good moments, we tend to compare their "perfect" life with all of our hard things, our downfalls, and our "imperfect life." We often ask ourselves why our lives can't be that perfect.
It's so hard.
We forget to showcase our piles of work and laundry and dirty dishes, our fights and breakups, our heart ache, our flaws and downfalls. I mean, why would we? We don't want to be negative. And I'm not here to say that we should start showcasing all of that. I am here to say that we all need to realize that we all have these things in our lives. Someone's life may seem perfect on the outside, but the fact is that everyone has their things, their trials.
We have to remember that.
If we start looking at all of the positive things in our life -- all of our blessings, and stop focusing on the negative, then life will be wonderful. Not perfect, but wonderful. Wonderfully imperfect.
And who wants a perfect life anyway? How boring would that be?
