Exhibit : The ego and I

Here you see a non ego driven selfie, in comparison to an ego driven version of me which is captured in the second selfie (taken in November). He was oh so wrapped up in what others thought about him.

Having this strict Beauty regime to upkeep, in fear that he wouldn’t be good enough, to prevent others from seeing what was really going on inside had me feeling exhausted without even realising. Today I call it my armour, the rule was, if I wore a tidy outfit and kept a pristine face then nothing can bother me.

Truth is, the only difference the armour made was deflecting others from noticing how I really felt. It’s really time we come clean and stop pretending like everything’s ok with a bronzed filter to mask what really is. Here in the now I’ve come to embrace my real sexiness, that only comes from within, the rest is a bonus.

Lets be honest we have all gotten dressed up in hopes for attention from others, posting those perfectly angled pics to feel seen, feel loved and validated based on our appearance. Whilst our ego’s revel in that temporary validation we so desperately seek, I asked myself.. for what return?

When the likes stop pouring in and the people are gone, we are back with ourselves. Alone with our own thoughts of what we really think to be true for ourselves. The words we speak internally and externally carry huge value. We can only see in ourselves what we choose to believe. So why not believe we are beautiful regardless of others opinions?

Screw what the rest of us think and let’s make our impact in this world, a positive one!

Telling ourselves just how beautiful we are, in this moment is the first step. (Say it as many times as it takes for you to believe it, you know you want to😉)

Turns out, I’ve always been good enough and so have you.

P.s. Get to know your ego, it’ll save your life.
