Whether it’s losing weight, starting a new job, or learning to love and trust someone after having your heart broken in the past…The gap can often feel overwhelming and impossible to reach your goal.

The challenge for so many of us today is that we associate whether we can feel truly beautiful or not based on how many people notice us. Specifically, I’d say we look to Instagram as our beauty mirror: how many followers do we have, how many likes did our summer swimsuit picture get, did I turn my hips in the right direction in this picture to achieve the body proportions I wish I had naturally, did I flex out my arm straight enough in this group picture to look like the others in my picture? I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the pressure so many of you face to be recognized as a woman that is seen, heard, noticed, and wanted.

Whether you're 18, 21, 23, 25, or 30 you've felt the pressure these ages bring. For whatever reason we have in our heads, each of these years feel like major checkins surrounding the status of our friend groups, family, careers, romantic relationships, aspirations, and goals. In reality, these years are no different and should not rob us of the joy of living every year with equal expectations. Yet we allow these years to be measurable comparison checkins against our peers to remind us we need to get our life together. I hope you feel encouraged and empowered to take a deep breath and stop living life as a giant checklist with timelines attached to it, but experience the freedom found in letting life happen on its own timeline.If you have any thoughts, comments, or questions: Slide in the DM on Instagram @ericmichaelsavage See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
