We live in this world where human beings are defined and judged by their peers based on areas that should not even have the privilege of defining anything. Social media seems to create a common denominator in the majority of all social imperfections. We need to just stop focusing on the idea that social media is ruining our lives and begin to actually take responsibility for our own actions. We have complete and utter control of our lives; we need to stop playing the victim and putting blame on others for our woes. I do not know whose idea it was to start focusing on others’ lives and stop dealing with the one right in front of us, but whoever did -- it just kind of sucks. We get one token for this game of life, and we need to make the best out of the limitations and begin to focus on ourselves. So, hi, it’s me -- Betty Crocker. Just kidding. I’m not her; it’s a metaphor -- just pretend -- and I am about to bless you with the most bomb recipe of yourself.
Ingredients
1/2 cup of self-praise
This is the most important ingredient. Self-praise is beyond significant because at the end of the day you are the most important person in your life. Being able to adore yourself -- flaws and all -- and consistently allow yourself to believe how beautiful of a person you are is 100 percent the most basic step to becoming the best you. It’s the idea that no matter what others conjure up about who they think you are, you are there to remind yourself that those opinions do not matter. You are able to create your own sunshine, and you have all of the power to make those storm clouds disappear.
1 cup of personality
This is where you werk. Obviously, your personality is entirely unique from the next person and that is one of the most intriguing topics to think about. Every single event that you experience throughout your life makes up who you are. Your personality is a mishmash of your life, and what you decided to take from each event. So, essentially, your reaction to any possible situation is based on your timeline. I don’t know about you, but I think that is insanely cool. So, that is something to think about in any given situation -- that every encounter almost defines you, in the best and worst ways possible.1 cup of imperfection
Okay, here we go; this one is the typical “embrace yourself” kind of pep talk but, honestly, do it. Embrace the heck out of yourself because, yeah, I put this imperfection ingredient here, but what even are imperfections? Imperfection exists within our society because we have fabricated up this idea of what beauty is and it’s all a bunch of crap. Everyone possesses these unique and truly incredible qualities, leaving the concept of imperfection to be seen as distinct qualities geared to you, personally. Everybody has their imperfections because that is what makes each person themselves. Imperfections are a beautiful perception.
Pinch of pals
Basically, surround yourself with some people who get you, who are always there to laugh with you -- and at you -- when you’re acting goofy, who walk in to your home with no warning, ice-cream in hand, who screenshot all of your weird Snapchats, who love your laugh as much as you hate it, who truly just care. These people are so important to help remind you that you are not alone, and you have people who love you unconditionally, no matter the circumstances.
1/2 tsp. of whatever you want
This is your life, make it what you want, and it better be one bomb life.
