We learn early in life that we need to live up to and perform to certain standards in order to be considered smart, successful, attractive and valuable. Many of us spend much of our lives building and serving what feels like ourselves, but is actually our image. Our idealized image. And with the sharing of our lives online, the idealized image has become more and more curated. We browse social media platforms, taking in these storybook creations and wonder why we don’t measure up, or alternately, are relieved to feel superior if only for a moment.
But, what happens when the idealized image is deconstructed and abandoned and the real self is fed, watered, nurtured, accepted and let loose into the world?!?
Honesty, vulnerability, hijinks, hilarity, trust, connection, friendship…the possibilities are endless. No curating needed.
Love yourself. Free yourself. Be yourself.
