Social Media: Strategically Chosen Excerpts From Various Books of Life

Stephanie Pearson-Davis ·

I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again today. You are your only competition. The moment you start competing with other people; you've already lost.  The only person I want to be better than is the woman I was yesterday. And listen, I think the woman I was yesterday is pretty dope, but I know on this journey there’s always room for growth.  I cannot compare the today me against the today you because it is impossible to do and it just doesn’t make sense.

In scientific terms, when doing an experiment, to see the similarities and differences in something you would have to watch those things exclusively from start to finish; recording everything.  You would need to know all variables or things effecting the subjects of the experiment.  And therein lies the problem with social media. You can not see all the variables in the life of someone else.

The Truth Allows Us to See Ourselves in Each Other

You know…. I almost posted a different blogpost, but then that would be compromising my entire purpose and mission.  I don’t want to look or sound a particular way to those of you who read my words and keep up with me.  I don’t want to portray a woman who always has perfect brows and hair with a fully beat face.  I refuse to act like every day of my life is rainbows, glitter and baby giggles. I’m not playing a character on this blog or other social media platforms and I don’t want to.  I want to BE who I say I am.  And sometimes I’m a mess.
