She looked into their breathtaking garden
Husband and children playing happily
Fortune, fame, family, fashion
She had everything
She was
Perfect
Alone
She cried
Every single night
She resented his touch
She never really wanted kids
She sold her soul- for perfection.
About “This Is Perfection”:
I was inspired to write “This Is Perfection” a few nights back when I couldn’t sleep and this kind of just came to me. I think it stemmed from these YouTube videos I had been watching about the lives of influencers/famous people. And how they were rich and famous but their lives were just very sad. I kind of just wanted to bring out the contrast between what you see and what is really going on behind the scenes. Usually people only out the good stuff out there- they never talk about the bad stuff but that doesn’t mean that it’s not there. No one can achieve perfection and everyone has their flaws and problems and that’s okay.
Have you ever felt like you are not good enough or your life isn’t good enough because you were comparing yourself to someone online? Do you think the toxic positivity we see online can be damaging to peoples mental health? Let me know in the comments section located below. Or simply stop by and say hi!
