Everyone can be Perfect at least for a moment...
We all see those magazines with those perfect people. Who doesn't love Victoria Secret models? There are beautiful, confident and skinny.
Whenever I see the cover of some magazine with those amazing people, I always think: I wish I could be one of them. I feel like they are the chosen one.
Usually, I feel quite confident with myself but every time I look at the cover model I see only all those 'what she has, and I don't.' Then I am ending up with thoughts how many stuff I wish to change in myself.
The issue with that kind of comparison is that whenever you see someone better than you, you may perceive yourself as someone worse. In the normal situation, you would scale yourself on let say 8 (range from 1 to 10), after comparing yourself to the perfect one, you will decrease 'your worth' and move yourself to nr 5 or lower.
I think similar situations happened in my last relationship with Mr. Perfect. Well, he was portrayed as supreme in my head.
The more I idolize him, the less confident I felt. I started wondering how come this amazing and wonderful person draw his attention to me – ordinary woman. I felt so lucky that such a marvellous guy wanted to be with me. But the more I worship him, the less worthy I felt.
As time passed by I realize that was stupid. He was not perfect, and nobody really is.
I think those magazines work the similar way. They make you feel bad by showing the image which is not real. We all know that nowadays there is a photoshop and the story behind the success must be catchy but still...
The next time when I look at the astonishing women on the cover I am going to pointed out “what I have and what she does not” instead of thinking other ways.
Perfect people don't exist… Therefore, I decided that instead of fighting my imperfection I am going to learn to accept them and then maybe one day I will love them because the way we perceive ourselves is all in our heads…
Maybe sounds silly…but at least, it makes me feel good ;-)
