Oh I adore your writing ❤️ I recently had to delete a substantial amount of photos from my iCloud and phone to free up storage. I was horrified at the amount of selfies I had taken and had similar thoughts to that in this post. While my jewellery business is my livelihood and I have to take photos to sell my jewellery, it still left me feeling like ‘wtf am I doing’ and went on to delete an embarrassing amount of photos of my face. Taking less photos, of not just my face but the silly things I honestly took for Instagram has been freeing.
My son came home from school a few months ago and told me his teacher had said to the class that we used to be a ‘we’ society and now it’s a ‘me’ society and I couldn’t stop thinking about that.
The self love movement was needed for many reasons but I think community and living with/for others is also a beautiful, vital balance.
Thank you so much for reading Hayley 🫶🏼 your son sounds like he’s an old soul remembering his teacher saying something like that - what a sweetheart. It’s always in the balance isn’t it and finding your own happy place within it all xxx
