Let's compare with what we see on the screen...

It's comparing us to a tiny fraction of history. On our way we don't need to look like someone else, to be valuable.

Many times in social networks we believe that the life of others is more beautiful, more orderly, more successful or happier than ours.

Why am I saying that? Because behind every achievement, every photo, every smile shared, there are also doubts, difficult moments, tiredness, silences, and processes that are almost never shown.

Therefore, to compare ourselves with what we see on social networks is to compare ourselves with an incomplete version of reality. Really, the life that we long for is not in the life that others show, we must take care of building our own from honesty with our rhythms, with our own layers.

We all have bright days and heavy days, moments of certainty, uncertainty and doubts. The media only shows the water that fits in a jar, and they do not show what is in the ocean, that is why, rather than competing with the lives of others, it is better to return to our own, because that is where our true path lies.

Let's avoid comparing ourselves...and let's try to give ourselves moments of solitude.

Not as a punishment, but as a refuge.Let's go to the gym, avoid sterile fights, study, cultivate good friends, talk less, and do more. Make sure to include self-care in the things to do this week. Stop procrastinating. Embrace yourself with your cracks, what has cost you so much to repair in your heart.

We must learn to live in balance between ambition and rest, between creating, leading and also stopping to breathe to sustain our world.

That's why many people prefer to be someone else, or even worse, to become nobody because they believe that on the other side of the screen it's better. Sometimes our life is filled with too many noises that are not worth it like other people's opinions, small problems and expectations that are ours and in the middle of that we forget the most important thing that moves us, gives us peace and makes us feel alive.
You don't always choose what happens to you.

But you can always choose what to do with it. When we choose and focus on what really matters, everything superficial loses strength.

This has to do with our own brightness and not with the brightness of other people's screens. That's where you listen the most. Where you accept what you feel without judgment. Where you sort out what seemed confusing. Where something inside, begins to repair.

Living in community is necessary. But learning to be with you, without fear of finding yourself, is essential. Because in solitude you don't get lost... on the contrary, you recognize yourself. 💛
