Let’s face it – the internet has caused a whole load of life envy and unrealistic perceptions of what’s going on for other people. We’re so desperate to have the best of everything and apps make it so easy..
It could be anything from a new job to a new flat or
boyfriend but we always want more and we always want better. Don’t get me wrong
it’s great to aim higher and go for what you really want – in fact more than great
it’s necessary! Always follow your dreams and passions – but just make sure
they’re yours. And when you find that flat or man or whatever try – however hard
it might be – to treasure that even through a hard day at the office or a fight
with your boyfriend. As the Instagram quote goes – ‘don’t let a bad day make
you think you have a bad life’.
It’s really important to keep coming back to what makes YOU happy, what do YOU want – not what you’ve been advertised by magazines or told by social media is important. And we all know what people post on social media is an illusion anyway – people might look happy in their swanky houses and live in model-esque boyfriends but you don’t know how hard they’ve had to work for where they live or whether their relationship is really that perfect.. Because guess what – perfection doesn’t exist and real life sadly does not come with a filter!

I think this grass is always greener attitude is most common
with relationships – property and jobs are still more permanent and less
disposable (though we all love a good dream property stalk on rightmove). The
age of internet dating means you’re much more likely to find someone because the
pool is so much wider. The problem with this is it can be easy to forgo someone
who is really great and you could build a future with because he may not be “perfect”
and you think that there’s someone better out there. I mean we’ve all gone on a
meh first date and I’m not saying follow up with every Tom Dick (lol) or Harry
but sometimes, just sometimes people can surprise you – and let them! Maybe the
earth didn’t stop moving on the first date but in their own way your latest
tinder bloke may just be the answer to all your prayers and you just don’t know
it yet..
