comparison-free summer
Welcome backkkk!
It has been a HOT MINUTE! I hope you guys are having a great week and an awesome summer! Oh my goodness, there is just something about it being summer and all the fun plans and events that come with the season. I love seeing all the posts of all your fun summer plans you guys have been sharing. This is definitely my favorite time of year!
I want to talk mainly to the girls who have reached out either via DM or TikTok. First off, I am beyond blessed to hopefully impact others, my mission statement and my reason for anything I try to do is that I may have influence for good and for God and to at least touch one person’s life for the better in any of my endeavors. Although I sometimes lose sight of that I am thankful for a God who reminds me and for all you guys who reach out to me that just helps refocus my mindset.
With it being summer there’s this added pressure on Instagram or TikTok to look a certain way or to even act a certain way. I know that personally comparison is a huge inner battle for myself that I had to take a break from social media all together. It’s this feeling of not being good enough that somehow gets in our head even though the girl who’s posting is thinking the same thing.
Recently, I was asked how I stay skinny and in shape by a girl that was shopping in my store I work in, she also didn’t see me crying that morning on the scale. I say that to say, you can’t compare because you will never be good enough and they are thinking the same thing. What truly matters is what you are doing in this life, when we get so focused on seeing what everyone else is doing and how they are looking we lose sight of ourselves and start fixating on the negative instead of taking control of what we can do.
I want to look back on my life knowing that I gave it my all for the Lord and feel truly fulfilled. I won’t look back and only think about how I looked or how I wasn’t as pretty as someone else. I will only know what I accomplished in life. So this summer, don’t spend your days scrolling and comparing and go cross off some things from your summer bucket list.
Ok, wanted to keep it short this time! Hope you guys have an amazing week! Also love the DMs I get for different blog ideas, keep sending them guys! <3
Sincerely,
Bella <3
