She doesn’t exist

Dear daughters

As a woman we have the habit of comparing ourselves to the “perfect woman” the one that always looks stunning, has her life together, always says and does the right thing, succeeds at everything she does, has an impeccable wardrobe, skin, body, hair. But the truth it… SHE DOESN’T EXIST!

Social media and the media in general showcase images of perfect women but behind this front, it is not at all like this.

I once read an interview with a very famous actress who commented that she felt she couldn’t act, she was faking it, and that one day someone will discover it and her whole world will crumble. She is rich, successful and gorgeous but inside she is insecure and afraid.

The ones we idolise and compare ourselves to, have just as many issues as we do. They are human.

Just think of all those celebrities who apparently had it all but still overdosed or committed suicide.

You can’t fully experience someone else’s life or be in their mind so you can’t fully understand or see their struggles and flaws.

So be kind to yourself. Accept you are human and that truthfully you are the only one qualified at being you.

I love you xx
