Get over yourself.

By admin

Selfie-culture is a little annoying nowadays, wouldn’t you agree?
I don’t think one needs to “selfie” unless its to serve the purpose of your clients, sponsors and other contractual agreements.
I admit it. I take pictures of myself for attention. When I see the likes increase on Instagram, it gives me some sort of satisfaction. When I’m down or feeling insecure, I post photos of myself and the response I get validates me temporarily. I can’t believe I’m confessing to this – it’s really sad and pathetic. Not so surprising, my best friend pointed that to me, she noticed that I take a few more pics of myself when I am down. She was right! Why do I care so much about what strangers say about me? Why do I rely on them to make me feel better? Whhhyyyyy???
Well played Instagram, well played.

This was my "Good Morning" series.
This was my “Good Morning” series.

Continuing with my confessions, I’m starting to judge people on Instagram. The more self-absorbed you are, the more you can tell what what your Instagram will look like: a billion selfies.
[blockquote blockquote_style=”default” align=”left” text_align=”left”]
You don’t need to selfie every damn day, I know what you look like and you’ll still look like that tomorrow.
[/blockquote]
I’m ranting a little because this #selfie culture is getting ridiculous. We’ve all gotten so narcissistic that we think everyone cares about what we do and how we look like. Everything needs to be monetized, get your money, get your fans, get your likes.. more me me me.  I’m so guilty of it!!! You don’t need to selfie every damn day, I know what you look like and you’ll still look like that tomorrow. We just keep feeding this ego-machine! (Disclaimer: unless you’re doing something to your face, cuz i’m really into before and afters.)
If not, then please just get over yourself.
I’m aiming to be a bit more meaningful on my messaging over my various social media platforms – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Website. (AIM is the key word here)
My New Years Resolution is to selfie no more than 5x a month (unless its for work). To shift the focus off myself and those who need the spotlight instead of me. Haha what’s your New Year’s Resolution this year?

Even though I kept myself open to whatever the Universe sent to me, I trusted myself to make the right decisions in life. If it was not in alignment, I would be able to let things go and make peace with it. Learning how to honour myself above anyone else has given me clarity about how I want to create my future. 

I’ll admit it has been scary because sometimes I worried if I wasn’t good enough to do so. But, I knew if I wanted to level up in life, I had to pay the price. 

Find your light, find your worth.

    It’s really hard to put into words what this pas It’s really hard to put into words what this past trip has meant for me. I spent nearly the entire year of 2022 working non-stop. Even when my body told me to stop, I didn’t. 
I tried my best to maximise my time with the people I care about and opted for the best experiences that were of worth and value to me. It’s been 20 years since I’ve left Vancouver and I’ve never felt more at home. This has been such a beautiful time of play, discovery and bliss. 😍

I saw this scripture during service and it was a good excerpt to anchor what I’ve been feeling over the past few months. I’m not chasing earthly possessions or the kind of clout I need from others to feel whole. I’m heading back to KL armed with a different perspective. I’m finding more peace and more joy in the little things in life. It’s a new level of exciting. 🙌🏻
