Hey ,
Happy monday!
sometime last week you watched or read someone's work online and you noticed one of two things:
Either they're just starting out and their work looks very raw (you gotta give it to them for showing up in public) In most cases, you hardly see this on your feed. People don't like showing up in public half-baked, or show their mistakes, and that is fine. That's smply
On the other side of the coin naman, you see people with really polished work. Their reels look snappy and clean. Or their status posts look like they've always known exactly what they're doing. And the distance between that and whatever you have half-finished in another tab starts to feel like evidence about you.
So I want to talk about what's missing from that picture.
Because what we're seeing is that person's finished work. You have never once seen their first two minutes. (or maybe you have if ka-batch mo sila and you know them long enough hehe)
This is because almost nobody posts the first two minutes.
So when your own feel terrible — and trust me they always do — you've got nothing to compare them against, and you judge yourself agad.
