Rachel Hurd-Wood Instagram – ☀️ ‘I just want to feel how they look’ – how I used to feel about anyone I saw, online or IRL, who seemed to have it together.
🏝 Maybe they wore chic designer clothes, could contort themselves into spectacular yoga poses, claimed to live on smoothies and superfood salads. Whatever it was, I’d compare how I felt (a mess, chaotic, insecure, inadequate) to those I envied and end up feeling worse than I already did. Compare and despair.
🤷🏼♀️ In my experience, most people don’t actually know wtf they’re doing half the time, aren’t satisfied in all areas of life or feel emotionally stable, let alone that elusive idea of ‘happy’ (which I used to think meant elated, but actually can just mean calm).
💗 I’ve found it helps to focus on the things that are good in your own life, to live authentically, and nurture what’s important to you.
Have you felt the same?
