Misconceptions we live by🤔
<p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1001084638.jpg"/></p><p>Who dictates what beauty is supposed to looklike? Who decided that being fat is ugly and being slim is better🥲? Who decided that you have to be tall to be considered attractive, or that having full hair makes you more beautiful than someone who doesn't? Who decides what you should look like to be considered beautiful?</p><p><br/></p><p>And honestly, who decided that having an iPhone makes you better than someone who uses an Android? Who decided that you need to own certain things to feel like you're on the same level as other people?</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes, I wonder who made these rules and why we follow them without questioning them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't get me wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself. If you want to lose weight, gain weight, grow your hair, dress better, or get an iPhone, please go for it. There is nothing wrong with wanting better things for yourself.</p><p><br/></p><p>But don't let the world dictate who you should be. Don't let people make you feel like you are less beautiful because you don't have a particular body type. Don't let anyone make you feel inferior because you use an Android instead of an iPhone. And don't let the things you don't have make you feel like you are not enough.</p><p><br/></p><p>You can want to become a better version of yourself without hating the person you are right now.</p><p><br/></p><p>I think sometimes we get so caught up in trying to meet society's expectations that we forget to ask ourselves what we actually want. We see what everyone is doing, what everyone is buying, and what everyone considers beautiful, and suddenly, we want those things too. Not necessarily because we like them, but because we don't want to feel left out.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that's something worth thinking about.</p><p><br/></p><p>You don't have to look like everyone else. You don't have to own what everyone else owns. You don't have to follow every trend to prove that you are beautiful, valuable, or worthy of respect.</p><p><br/></p><p>At the end of the day, who decided these standards in the first place? And why should you spend your life trying to meet standards that someone else created?</p><p><br/></p><p>Improve yourself because you want to, not because the world has convinced you that who you are is not enough.</p>
