There was a phase in my life when
I was unknowingly living through borrowed dreams. I’d scroll through perfectly
edited social media posts, watch movies that glorified unrealistic love stories
and success, and idolize celebrities who seemed to have it all. Their lives
looked flawless — like everything was always in place, always shining. But what
I failed to see was that they were only showing us their highlights — the ideal
parts of their life they chose to showcase. And yes, I’ve done this too. I’ve
fallen into that trap, idealized others, tried to model parts of my life on
what I saw on screens. I like some of them — their talent, their humor, their
creativity — but I don’t allow them to consume my energy. Because once you
start doing that, you start losing pieces of yourself in the process.
But I won’t call it a mistake —
because the truth is, almost everyone does this at some stage of their life.
It’s a part of growing. The important thing is what you do with that
realization when it hits.
Social media is a stage. Films
and TV shows are scripted, edited, and timed. They’re created to entertain, to
sell a story. And yet, many of us mistake them for real life. We start
comparing our raw, real, messy lives to someone else's curated version. But
that’s the illusion. We lose sight of what’s real to us.
So if you find yourself doing the
same — stop. Ask yourself: What do I truly want? What actually matters to me?
Focus on dreams that are rooted in your values, not in someone else's filtered
fantasy.
Let go of the glamorized noise.
Start walking your own path. Because chasing what’s real for you will always
take you further than chasing someone else’s illusion ever could.
God bless you...!!!
