Today’s generation is lonely and insecure maybe because they believe in the life of social media that consists of happy filters and pleasant life and hope that someday they too will post that same story on Instagram. Our life is limited to the trend- you want it because others have it! Also, one thing I find worrisome is the fact that people can’t stay alone. They just can’t stay with themselves. They constantly need someone to talk to and so some of them get into a toxic relationship or they settle for the meaningless relationship while some slide into DM’s trying to make small talks but question is, is all of these worth it? Do we really want all this?
People’s insecurities are hidden in the archives of their social media and none except themselves know what’s in there. We see many posts on ‘how we don’t need validation and acceptance and we are enough for ourselves’ but how many of us post this in our lives? Have we really succeeded in getting over the validation and acceptance thing or do we still look for it in some ways or the other? Somehow somewhere we are hollow from inside because we tend to carry a constant façade.
Let’s embrace our weaknesses and insecurities and try to understand them and work on it. Let’s have a real conversation about it rather than just posting it. Let’s differentiate between real and reel. Let’s lift the camouflage and display our rainbow.
And hey!
IT’S OKAY TO BE INSECURE-
That job you want and you have been trying for some time now and someone you know got it- it’s okay you will get to do what you like don’t lose that passion..
That companion or partner you are looking for which you see your friends and everyone around you have it- it’s okay you will find them one day just don’t stop loving…
That feeling of motherhood/fatherhood you are longing for and that you see fulfilled for your friends around- it’s okay you will conceive one day just don’t lose hope
That feeling of being assured and settled personally and professionally that you are waiting for and that you see how some of your friends already have- it’s okay you will be just don’t stop working
That future that seems hazy and the present that feels stuck will all make sense in some time.
This was not to compare. This is to understand that when we want something and somehow we see others getting it we feel more insecure and lost and it is okay. You are human and you are likely to feel that way!
