I realized that I stopped recording fitness videos and posting pictures on my other social media sites. I feel it’s because of all the pressures I have faced as a woman to achieve perfection. I stopped posting because I was waiting, waiting to be skinner, more toned, and have achieved more PERFECTION.
In society, mostly instagram, we are taught that we have to get our eyebrows microbladed, our eyelashes extended, we have to contour our faces with makeup, wear hair extensions, have an amazing wardrobe, have the perfect body, have huge asses and tits, small waists, perfect skin, get laser hair removal, and if you can’t achieve that naturally, then you should go under a knife.
I’m am absolutely tired of holding myself to these standards and we’re created and instilled in our brains over time. These standards are completely out of my reach and out of my control, and enough is enough. Yesterday I got the courage to work with what I had and stop waiting for perfection because if I keep waiting, I’m going to be waiting forever.
