"Perfect to me”-My favorite Phrase from Anne-Marie’s song

”I’m okay with not being perfect

Cause that’s perfect to me”

Isn’t it such a beautiful phrase?

These days, it feels more important than ever to look perfect, especially because of social media.

I don’t mean social media is bad—it’s convenient, fun, and I use it too.

But sometimes,

I feel disappointed

by the difference between my real life and the shiny, perfect-looking world I see online.

And more than that, I can’t stop thinking:

“I want to be like them…”

“I want to have perfect skin like hers.”

“I want a better nose.”

“I want to lose weight…”

Thoughts like these never seem to stop.

But when I think like that,

I realize—

I’m always denying myself.

The more I admire the world of social media,

the more I start to hate who I am.

Social media plays a part in why I started to dislike myself.

But deep down,

I know the real reason is…

I just don’t have confidence in myself.

I always try to become someone I’m not.

I’m a perfectionist.

To be perfect, I always act perfectly.

I always study hard.

I always prepare.

I always try my best.

But… is it really necessary?

Am I not already perfect?

Yes—I am perfect just the way I am.

No one else is denying me.

The only person who’s been denying me…

is

Me.

I believe that someday, I’ll be able to love myself—when I stop denying myself.

I’m still struggling.

But that day will come.

Until I can truly love myself,

I’ll keep sharing what I believe real beauty is.

And I hope that you, too, will begin to love yourself—even if you don’t right now.

See you next time❤︎
