The Beauty in Being Unfinished🎀
<p>Social media has a lot to say in someone's life. It has created so many definitions of what is beautiful, aesthetic, successful, feminine, stylish, and many other things you can think of. And because of that, I started to compare, compare, and compare myself with people online in the most unhealthy way and manner. It started affecting me. It started affecting my life. It started affecting everything I did. I started trying to be perfect. I started trying to be like them. I started trying to be the version TikTok wants me to be. I started trying to be the version Pinterest wants me to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>Until I realized I had started trying to change how I think. I sat down and thought to myself, what are those things I thought were not enough? Maybe my appearance isn't always Instagram-perfect. Maybe my room isn't always aesthetic the way Instagram wants it to be. Maybe I'm awkward sometimes in my life. But I'm beginning to realize that I'm not meant to be like those things. I am me, and I'm supposed to do what I know best how to do.</p><p><br/></p><p>Things changed when I stopped trying to make myself fit somebody else's definition of perfection. So perhaps the goal isn't to eliminate every imperfection, but to recognize that those imperfections are part of the person I'm becoming. And maybe that's okay. Maybe being unfinished doesn't mean I'm not enough. Maybe it just means I'm still becoming.</p>
