Life is meant for connection. And community. I think social media confuses us in this, don’t you?
.
My heart goes from one extreme to another when I scroll. I feel encouraged & inspired, then FOMO and self doubt, even fear. I move on. The next post, it’s beyond clever, and I can’t stop laughing. Next post, I’m inspired again — so I keep scrolling. Whattheheck.
.
Then with quarantine, I’ve found myself asking, how are people such rockstars in all of this!? Like, just how?! It’s impressive, and I admire the things everyone is doing, but I’m also admitting, I sometimes feel really overwhelmed with comparison. You know, 🤷🏼♀️!! .
In the same breath, know God doesn’t want us to compare. And our joy should not depend on how much we accomplish, or how ‘amazing’ we are, or think we are, haha — When I redirect my thoughts, and lean in to His truth. It’s sooo much better!
.
And you know what, when I take a few minutes to look at my photo feed, you know the unedited photos of here and now. — I realize how easy it is to lose sight. Scrolling can make me blind. — AND I realize that whenever I post a pic, someone might think I have it all together too. How misleading😂
.
What’s the balance? Is there a balance? It’s more than just limiting time and setting boundaries with the screens. This is really a heart issue. For all of us.
.
One of my favorite quotes — And I have no idea who wrote it) goes like this “Don’t believe everything you see. Even salt looks like sugar.” Yes.

Hugs, everyone,
