Hello friends! Happy Friday and hello weekend! This week flew by from being so busy and getting ready for our weekend getaway to San Antonio! Some of our good friends are getting married and we are so excited for them. You guys can follow along on the fun on Instagram Stories as always. Today I’m going to be talking about something that I get so many questions on and that is the comparison game.

For those of you that don’t know what the comparison game is then let me explain it to you. Pretty much it’s seeing other bloggers or influencers or anyone actually and wondering how come you aren’t where they are in life. The biggest one for us bloggers or influencers would be how come I’m not growing as fast? Why can’t I get all these amazing opportunities? Why can’t I look like this blogger? Etc.red dress, ruffle dress, bow dress, summer dress, summer bag, cult gaia bag, nordstrom dress, ray ban sunglasses, aviators, brown caged shoes, cute summer shoes, cute summer outfitIt’s literally the worst game ever and we all become a part of it somehow someway. Even when I wasn’t a blogger I had some of these similar questions. Again, literally the worst. The one thing that helps me overcome the game is remembering…

I am who I am. I’m blessed for everything that I have and I’m hopeful for more growth in my life.

I know for some saying it may not be much but when you think about your own life. There are so many things we all have that are great in our lives and then we all struggle. It’s normal. We don’t think it is because of all the things we see on social media. Social media is FAKE. Not in the sense that a person is but the way we express our lives on it.red dress, ruffle dress, bow dress, summer dress, summer bag, cult gaia bag, nordstrom dress, ray ban sunglasses, aviators, brown caged shoes, cute summer shoes, cute summer outfitWe seriously have NO idea what’s behind some of these pretty pictures on Instagram or the smiles behind Instagram Stories. We don’t really know their real relationships, real friends, heck we don’t even know these people personally. The one thing we know is what they CHOOSE to share, what they CHOOSE to say, and who they CHOOSE to be on social media.

We have to stop thinking and comparing and just be happy! Trust me. I’ve thought omg why can’t I get this campaign or why doesn’t this brand respond to my messages and little do I know that there is one on the other side waiting for me. Or I’ll ask myself why am I not growing as fast as some of these other bloggers?red dress, ruffle dress, bow dress, summer dress, summer bag, cult gaia bag, nordstrom dress, ray ban sunglasses, aviators, brown caged shoes, cute summer shoes, cute summer outfitWell those bloggers may be spending more time or let’s be honest… more money to grow. I can grow the same way they are but I’m trying to be do it honestly and build this relationship that I have with you guys! I’m not the “size” or “look” of a lot of bloggers and how do I deal with it? By loving myself.

We can all look great and love ourselves. A different color top, a different style of dress, a new lipstick, etc can all make me feel good about myself. We don’t have to buy everything that our favorite bloggers buy because we don’t look like them. We are all different but that’s what makes this world beautiful.red dress, ruffle dress, bow dress, summer dress, summer bag, cult gaia bag, nordstrom dress, ray ban sunglasses, aviators, brown caged shoes, cute summer shoes, cute summer outfitLet’s stop this comparison game and just show our real selves.  Honestly you guys have seen the real me without makeup, without filters, etc and I have NO shame. It’s who I am, and I have accepted myself for being me a long time ago.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions about the comparison game and how you deal with it. Have a good weekend friends!
