Don’t COMPARE YOURSELF to a stranger on the internet.
I’ve worked in media and magazines for over 10 years. And in publishing, it feels normal to see curated ideals of dream lives, dream bodies.
But social media tells us a different story.
It says every girl is the girl next door.
Every goal is casually achievable.
And suddenly every supermodel on a superyacht becomes the norm.
Part of us knows this ISN’T true.
Part of us forgets.
So today I just wanted to remind you:
Don’t compare yourself to a stranger on social media.
Don’t compare yourself to hundreds of highlight reels.
Not in the way your body is shaped.
Not in the way you handle emotions or challenges.
Not in the raw fragile parts that make you who you are.
Because what we see on here is an echo chamber of perfect angles and hand picked truths.
And humans are far more complex, far more nuanced, far more perfectly imperfect than that.
You got this.
