More and more though I think these conversations are coming up because of the hyper-conected and super visual world we live in. People have an almost endless stream of options of people, or aspects of people’s lives to compare themselves. I know I have to keep my feelings of inferiority in check when I read certain blogs. I love the blogs that keep it real (such as yours). I remember there was one home decor blog that I followed, in which the woman said she was going to keep it real and show the “messy side” of the room she was photographing: three magazine’s and two letters on the dining room table. . . even her mess looked staged. I unsubscribed from her after that post.

I’m afraid I get impatient when people (women, usually) start tearing themselves down or doing the comparison thing. I know usually they’re not consciously fishing for compliments, but it feels that way. I’m just like, “yeah, yeah, whatever; let’s move on.”
