This post feels like a breath of fresh air: the sweet relief of realizing people don’t notice me near as much as I think they do. My favorite people who I admire, who have that spark to them, are people who are unashamedly themselves- not constantly changing to be better liked by others. I am feeling so inspired to emulate that in my life, as it is so easy to slip into people-pleasing and anxiety over every small thing. And to forget who I am because I’m more concerned with who they think I am.
Rambling because this obviously resonated. Love!! Xx
you're right it's so easy to slip into people-pleasing, especially because we're social animals who value community so we do care alot that the people around us are happy. it's a thin line between staying true to yourself and giving too much. Thanks for sharing Elle and your kind words as always :)
