Hey everyone, hope your Mondays have been good and you all had a lovely weekend! First of all I want to thank you for sticking with
me so far, hopefully these posts are not getting annoying just yet. I
appreciate every one of you who takes the time to read my ramblings.
Anyway, today I feel like writing about the issue of
comparing ourselves to others. We all do it whether we want to or not, and I
definitely do it far too often. We can tend to measure ourselves based on how
other people look, how much money they have, what they’re good at. And
depending on the person we’re comparing ourselves with, we either feel better
or worse about our own appearance, our finances and our abilities. This is made
to seem pretty normal in today’s society. The media is constantly comparing
celebrities to one another- which one is hotter, which one looks better in that
dress, which one makes the biggest headlines. Magazines even compare us to celebrities. They tell us we can
have Beyoncé’s body if we do this workout or buy that brand of diet pills. They tell us we can buy the same handbag that Kate Moss was carrying- which of course, automatically will make us just as cool as she is...
While this kind of thinking can inspire us to work harder to improve on ourselves, it can also be really damaging to the way we view ourselves.
