you know something? life is real. blogging can sometimes make life out to be very unrealistic. we bloggers struggle with this, yes? it is so easy to make our lives seem glamorous, amazing, perfect and lovely all year round. all month round. all everything round.
well, it's not. sometimes it's hard. sometimes it's embarrassing. sometimes it's awkward, well, it's a lot awkward. sometimes it's just . not . pretty.
so why do we make out like it's perfect? guys. we all have days where we look awful. where we feel awful. where people are being horrid. where we're being horrid. where we just tripped over nothing. where we spilled coffee down our chin. where we can't afford those 'blogger' coloured jeans, oxfords, nikon, nerd glasses, blazer, starbucks coffee in our hand every two seconds, or iphone.
so let's do what my little cousin is doing in that last picture. let's do some sort of karate chop on perfection & fake glamour and let's get real. are you with me? for narnia?
I'm guest posting about this topic over at lucia, etcetera tomorrow. so remember to check her blog out then!
love you all.
be good, pop over to lucia's place tomorrow, and be real-er than real.

This is so true Jess! Great post, and your cousin is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree:) I read your guest post and yes it's so true... Nobody will learn from perfection, it takes a few people to stumble so that others can learn how to walk in this life according to God. The reality is I am an imperfect city girl who is loved by a perfect God. I am honest and a crazy about Jesus worshiper/ Salmist who just can't live without her Father. So many mistakes but thankfully...the word says that His mercies are new every morning:) It'd be awesome if you could stop by my blog. It's nice to talk and share with others what God is giving us at this time in our lives. Anyways...sorry for the essay haha but God bless, Jess.
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Lucia's blog. I was so intrigued by your post that I couldn't get over here fast enough to learn more about what an amazing gal you are. Truly inspiring!! Loved both posts.
