comparison; thief of joy
public holidays, especially ones that revolve around families and extended families, are very lethal ground for losing joy.
in the wake of the latest #konmarie kraze, a lot of people are asking if your things 'spark joy' and if they don't, throw them out.
scrolling through the highlight reels of Instagram and Facebook has definitely affected me. next year i'm going to go on a social media fast - no FB or IG for CNY because there's a certain demographic that especially enjoys posting during this period. those who are married and even better if they have extra #armswag aka babies to up the 'cuteness' quotient in the photos.
guess i need to be mindful - families are precious but these snippets on social media only portray the 'good' parts. behind the scenes - quarrels, poop, disagreements, unhappiness, all get filtered away, leaving the glossy sheen of what appears to be 'the perfect life'.
i'm thankful; just thankful to be alive. to be breathing. to be healthy and have family. and to have the freedom to go wherever i want.
for that, i am very grateful.
