wonderfully said girl. a little competition is healthy, but when everything – even the smallest things – start to feel like a competition, it's so draining. i laughed so hard at farting fire.

Agreed. Competition is a huge component at my job and it constantly has me on my toes. I think it helps drive me. However, I'm also a hardworker so mostly it is me being me. Life outside of work is a challenge though. I constantly compare myself to others. With age comes wisdom, right?

I could not love this post more! Good for you for taking off your fitbit and for not blogging just because. I always feel I'm not adequate enough because my pictures aren't 100% crisp or staged perfectly. But who cares? I don't have the time to stage or edit pictures, and I'd rather come off as me and not something I'm not. *hugs* gurlie and keep doing your thing 🙂

….wait…you're totally talking about blogging, IG, FB, Snapchat, Twitter…and everything else that we can filter in order to alter how the world sees us. Right? 🙂

Could not agree with you more, friend! Well said.

Ah yes. I so feel like that sometimes in this blogging world. Instead of building each other up we're busy competing. And it's all not real. It's all staged. I love that you keep it real on here girl!

I agree with you, I feel like there are so many people out there competing against each other and not even realizing it. I dont understand what is wrong with just real life? I like real life. Every time I open instagram I see staged photos. They all look the damn same. A vase of flowers on a table with items set just so. So boring. Then I open blogger and see post after post about what I am doing wrong on social media, what this person is trying to offer to make money, I just want to read something. Anything. lol

This is so true, because waaaaay too often the competition stems straight from caring way too much about what other people thing.

Ugh, this is so true. Sometimes the constant competition (conscious or not) is so darn draining. I love those honest conversations where I can just unload, without feeling like someone's trying to one-up me. Love this post, as always!

Love this! I was actually thinking about this very topic just the other night. It seems like people are always trying to compete with one another instead of just living life and enjoying being themselves. I can remember in high school constantly worrying about what others thought of me and whether or not I was living up to their "standards", and that is no way to live. Thankfully I've slowly learned to just be me and if people don't like the real me, then it's just as well. As a blogger and a person, these are the posts I love to read. Because they are real and you can tell it comes from the heart. Great post!

You have knocked it out of the park again girl!!! Just in this past week I have had conversations with different people about this. People just need to keep it real and just be themselves. Oh and not worry about what other people think or what they're doing. I'm just getting too old to care haha. Sorry about your foot too, I hope that you feel better soon. I also hope that you are having a great week!! 🙂
