Expectation VS Reality
Today, one of my best friends and I decided to head to Malibu for the afternoon. My favorite beach in Malibu is El Matador, it's just minutes down the road of the main beach but with it's own hidden entrance it makes for the perfect escape.
We laid down our picnic blanket and began to catch up on what we have missed in each other's lives the past couple of weeks. Before we knew it our talking became singing, our singing became dancing, our dancing became picture taking and of course, our picture taking turned into laughing!(sorry to all the people we annoyed with our constant snapchats, music and giggles)
I think there is a certain power in looking silly and not caring that you do, and let's be honest we aren't all as perfect as we portray on social media. We are humans! Which means... sometimes things aren't going to go as planned and sometimes we get so caught up in what others think of us, we forget what we think of ourselves.
So- I am here to show that as much as I love capturing the perfect photo and editing it just right to post on my blog, there is a certain beauty in the candids and the bloopers that aren't shown enough or even at all.
Nobody is perfect, we all have flaws! Why are we trying to blend in to social norms?
Don't be afraid to be silly or goofy... we all have our corks, so instead of hiding them, embrace them. Not only will you be more confident, but when others see that you are so comfortable in your own skin they are going to start following your example.
Self-confidence is the best outfit you can wear, so own it.
I hope you all have a great fri-YAY,
thanks so much for reading!
