So many times I hear the word - "goals" used in a sentence. For instance, relationship goals, aesthetic goals, talent goals, athletic goals, academic goals, etc... I have decided I don't want to be "goals". Now I don't think there is anything wrong with having certain goals in your life, but here are a few reasons why I personally don't want to be "goals".
1. #relationshipgoals
It's funny because the first thing that pops up when using the hashtag "relationship" is #relationshipgoals. I have a problem with that phrase because when you set couple goals for you and your s/o, you unintentionally set expectations for yourselves that you may or may not be able to fulfill. In my opinion, every relationship is unique and there is not one just like another. Looking at a cute couples photos and thinking "wow, relationship goals" is just going to make you feel discontent with what you have. Don't get me wrong, having goals for your relationship is a great thing; just don't want a relationship based off of something you see. Make your relationship unique.
2. #bodygoals
So many times I see girls comment on their friend's photos with #bodygoals. Don't get me wrong, this is a super flattering compliment. But personally for me, I have decided not to think "body goals" because often times it's something that I will never be able to achieve. I applaud girls who work hard to be toned; but I have also accepted the fact that I am not ever going to be a super skinny girl with 0% body fat - and that's okay with me. It's great to have fitness goals, just not based off of what other people look like. When it boils down to it, you are only as beautiful as you (yourself) believe.
3. All of the above.
Body goals and Relationship goals are just the 2 main "goals" that I often see. Of course, there are many other goals: Godly goals, talent goals, athletic goals, academic goals, etc...
The point I am trying to make here is that it's super great to have goals and look up to people. But at the end of the day, you are YOU and shouldn't strive to be someone else.
& as always, be inspiring :)
