Social media has convinced us that everyone else is living a better life than we are.
Everywhere you look, someone has the perfect morning routine.
The perfect workout. The perfect diet. The perfect marriage. The perfect children.
Someone's waking up at 5 AM, taking an ice bath, doing yoga, making an elaborate breakfast for their kids, and somehow looking incredible while doing all of it.
And we're sitting there watching this stuff thinking:
“Why doesn't my life look like that?”
“Why doesn't my partner look like that?”
“Why isn't my relationship like theirs?”
But here's what we forget.
Someone had to set up a camera to film that perfect morning.

And we're watching it, and we're comparing ourselves to it and our partner to it. And we're going, how come my partner doesn't look like that? They don't look like that.

You're unhappy with yourself. You're unhappy with your partner. You're unhappy with your relationship with your partner because you're comparing it to fiction.
