Yes, I had insecurities and I still have them. I feel like I will always have them, it has always been a part of me and I’m so used to it. They don’t even bother me anymore. Born in a generation where every person is an influencer or a content creator, it’s very hard not to have one. The perfect lifestyle, the perfect face, and everything that they portray. The unrealistic beauty standards and lifestyle that we are exposed to through media is not true, hence the term “unrealistic”.
The beauty blogger you want to look like and that you think is perfect is there with an anxiety of identity issues. The writer that you think is the most successful person is there with anxiety as well and so on. So now, why the anxiety in everything, you ask?
Social media has always been linked with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and on and on. 60% of the people exposed to social media have either one of these or at the worst, all of them. In Essence, it gives us the impression of a perfect and happy picture of a fake world.
So now what? If social media is the not the real world, then what is?
You waking up with bad breath and disheveled hair, you not wanting to wash your face because it’s the weekend, you binging on junk food because you too lazy to cook, you wanting to stay in your pajamas all day long, you crying with an ugly face while watching a movie, you trying to put makeup on but ending up looking like a clown, you trying to start a workout with a bag of chips in hand, you procrastinating about all your assignments and you regretting every day at the end. This is what a real world looks like. Not perfect, is it? But remember C’est la vie – this is life.
Be it the model on the front page of Vogue magazine or be it YOU. This life is imperfect- we have to accept that fact and embrace the imperfections.
So now again, what? If this is the real life, now what?
To which I’ll ask you something, you know what’s more beautiful than a beautiful face or a beautiful body?
A beautiful and a kind heart, with good intentions in everything you do. How you do everything will determine how you will feel, that’s when the internal beauty comes into picture. You don’t want to look like a Victoria secrets angel and feel all crummy on the inside, do you?
Try to work little by little each time on yourself, for your mind and for your spiritual well being. Meditate, do yoga, read, eat clean, work on your pending works, connect with your family, your friends and most importantly connect with yourself. Give up on certain habits which only make you feel bad about yourself, and most importantly stop judging people. But in the process, if you ever feel demotivated just look back and see how far you have come, the mistakes that made you learn new things and how you are becoming better than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow.
What I really hope is that you try working on yourself so much that you have little or almost no time to judge others.
Whilst being on this platform, make sure you don’t fall prey to this false world of idealism.
Be beautiful- with a beautiful mind and a kind heart. Kudos to everyone who is at least trying and improving each day, I hope you keep that going. Be consistent: that could be the answer to everything.
