Those gorgeous slim gym ladies, living a dream we’ve always dreamed of. Those warm sands beneath our feet, the crystal-clear water lapping at our toes. Their beautiful bowls made from rainbows and their sparkling drinks with the fruit wedges and umbrellas.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoptz5G7ge

The never ending forest trails carved out by the Fae. Hues of deep greens and muddy browns calling us home. The homemakers that live off their own produce, living simple and easier lives. 292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTlZx78Wvn

The parents who are happy juggling their family lives while running their own business, or the stay-at-home parents making everyday an adventure. But all we think is, how do they manage it?292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ccIvVQuu

To the fashion houses, and high street stores, convincing us we need a new beauty routine every few months, or that our overstuffed wardrobes are drab and need constant revival. The diet fads and the perception of beauty changes based on those images flooding our mind at every turn. In film and TV, magazines and Social Media. Leaving us to wonder, if we will ever be enough?292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4UgNWTw0S

But we forget, it’s all an illusion and over time we’ve become blind to the truth. These perfect individuals are leading false lives. The photographs we surround ourselves with are nothing more than smoke and mirrors, opening our minds to be more critical of ourselves, and for what? To spiral ourselves into the blue, wishing we could change our lives in an instant. The pressures of society forcing us to reach that impossible bars based on their ideals of fulfillment.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdyxPK62jU

Over time, people have forgotten the beauty of living. That our lives are worth more than an image altered a thousand times or how we dress and how we speak. We shouldn’t measure our worth based on someone else’s capabilities, instead we should focus on our own journey and enjoy every second of the beauty that is life.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PiuCEW8ui
