Aakansha Monga Instagram – As someone who shares my achievements publicly, I know what it feels like to be on both sides—creating and consuming. I’ve put my wins out there, from milestones to moments that mean a lot to me. But here’s the thing, even as a creator, I catch myself comparing. Seeing people on the buying dream houses, walking the ramp, or turning into actors can sometimes make me think, Why not me?
But over time, I’ve realized something really important: just because an achievement isn’t posted for the world to see doesn’t mean it’s any less meaningful. We’re all on our own journey, and we all have different goals. And not every accomplishment needs to be celebrated publicly.
It’s easy to get caught up in the comparison trap, especially when everyone’s wins are on display. But don’t forget, the value of an achievement is in what it means to you. Whether you choose to share it or keep it personal, it’s still just as valid.
Secondly, stop and think – is that even a goal you ever had? Many times we get swept up in others celebrations and compare ourselves – not realising that we probably never even wanted that.
Sigh. The contradictions of social media.
On one hand, I loooove celebrating publicly with my online family – on the other I think about the downsides too.
All in all, it’s important to be aware – so you never fall into the negative loop.
Love,
Aakanksha
