Yep - I stole a graphic from LinkedIn to share here, even though I'm a stickler for spelling and 'persistence' is driving my crazy...
Social media has made life so much more distorted.
No one shares the 'bad' and the 'ugly' - only the 'good'...however the story is spun to make themselves look stronger, better, prettier.
The truth is that life's struggles are what make you stronger, better, and prettier.
And sharing those, being completely honest and open, can help fight the stigma of the perfect lives everyone else seems to have.
I made a promise to myself when I created Dead Set to share it all. Real life with no filters.
A truth I'm dealing with now? I'm scared shitless that I'll be disappointed in myself at my half marathon this Saturday even though I've been mentally preparing myself for anything that may come my way.
Share your fears. Share your failures, your struggles, and your doubts.
You have no idea who it may comfort in the process.
