<\/p>\nTe contar\u00e9 un peque\u00f1o secreto, pero por favor, que quede entre nosotros: No soy ni de lejos la mujer que ves los s\u00e1bados por la noche o en mi perfil de Instagram.<\/p>\n
Ya sabes, \u00bfla que no para de publicar fotos de su maravillosa vida? \u00bfLa que siempre tiene una amplia sonrisa en la cara y aparentemente nunca est\u00e1 de mal humor?<\/p>\n
Sinceramente, esa mujer tiene muy poco en com\u00fan conmigo.<\/p>\n
Yeah, that\u2019s right, I\u2019m talking about that tall, skinny blond whose selfies you keep seeing on your social media feed. I don\u2019t know who she is as I definitely don\u2019t look like that.<\/p>\n
In fact, I\u2019ve just spent years mastering the art of looking like her.<\/p>\n
\u00bfY qu\u00e9 me dices de su impresionante novio? Parece que los dos nunca discuten. Siempre le da sorpresas y parece el hombre m\u00e1s rom\u00e1ntico del mundo.<\/p>\n
Oh, \u00bfte refieres a ese tipo que se olvid\u00f3 de mi cumplea\u00f1os el a\u00f1o pasado y luego compr\u00f3 101 rosas para intentar compensarlo al d\u00eda siguiente?<\/p>\n
Para que quede claro, \u00bfseguimos hablando del t\u00edo que me hace sentir emocionalmente abandonada la mayor parte del tiempo?<\/p>\n
\u00bfDeber\u00edamos empezar a hablar de su incre\u00edble carrera o de la forma en que siempre est\u00e1 rodeada de un mont\u00f3n de amigos?<\/p>\n
The list can go on forever, but you get the picture. This woman\u2019s life is apparently every little girl\u2019s dream come true. It looks like she has it all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bueno, cari\u00f1o, I\u2019m here to tell you that nothing is as it seems.<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m a professional at faking it, trust me. In fact, I\u2019ve spent most of my adult years trying to convince strangers that my life is perfect.<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m not just talking about my social media profiles, I\u2019m also referring to the phony smile that\u2019s become a part of me. Never mind the fact that I\u2019ve been repressing my true emotions for as long as I can remember.<\/p>\n Basically, I\u2019ve been living a lie for so long that I\u2019ve ended up believing it as well. You see, I was so hard on myself that I refused to accept anything below perfection.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a1Pues que le den! The truth is that my life is a huge mess and I\u2019m finally learning to embrace it.<\/strong> I don\u2019t have to be flawless to be fantastic.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong: I\u2019m honestly grateful for all of my blessings. I\u2019m thankful<\/a> y orgullosa de m\u00ed misma por todos mis \u00e9xitos y logros.<\/p>\n However, this doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t experience failures as well. It also doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t days when I hate myself and would jump right out of my skin if I had the chance.<\/p>\n So, I\u2019ve decided to cut the crap. I\u2019ve decided to put a stop to these false pretenses and show the real me to the world.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t look like a top runway model. My mother has never encouraged me, my job has made me reach my breaking point, my love life is falling apart, and I\u2019m pretty sure I don\u2019t have more than one amigo de verdad<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n There are mornings when I don\u2019t have the strength to leave my bed, there are days when I feel like the biggest loser in the world, and there are nights when I cry myself to sleep.<\/p>\n There are moments when my insecurities get the best of me and when my own self-doubts overwhelm me. There are days when I can\u2019t see my worth no matter how much I try.<\/p>\n However, you don\u2019t notice any of this, do you? Well, now you know. There, I said it. I\u2019m not perfect nor will I ever be.<\/strong><\/p>\n As\u00ed que ya est\u00e1 bien de ser tan duro conmigo mismo y de criticarme por tener la osad\u00eda de ser humano.<\/p>\n Enough with pretending that everything is okay while I\u2019m falling apart. Enough with laughing when I would actually rather cry my eyes out.<\/p>\n Basta ya de compararme con los dem\u00e1s. Basta ya de malgastar mi tiempo y mi energ\u00eda intentando cumplir alg\u00fan est\u00e1ndar social impuesto.<\/p>\n![\"mujer](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/sad-woman-lying.jpg\")
