These days, I’d rather water a plant and sit mindfully with it than douse my mind in social media or other distractions. Instagram seems to have retained a shred of honesty, even if most people focus on the positive aspects of their lives. But that’s really what we should be doing – focussing on the beautiful things in our lives and spending our energy strengthening these aspects.
Positivity can only defeat negativity if we give it energy. Solidarity can defeat inequality. Mindfulness can smother materialism. The good in ourselves will feed the good in others, and that’s really where it all begins: in ourselves. I won’t share with you my detached depressive state, that’s for me to disrupt. I won’t bother you with my mistakes and my failures, that’s for me to learn from and to grow with. I want to be a beacon for the positivity that’s here in the world, and there within you. I don’t want to be a cute dog you look at to distract yourself. I want to be useful in a way that you can find the beauty in your own life and become a stronger and better person because of it.
My hopes are that my feed offers you strength. But don’t praise me for shedding light on something that you already knew, take pride in yourself for illuminating it. Because this feed isn’t necessarily a reflection of me and my life, but rather who I wish I was.
