Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

Osaka, Japan

Being a fashion blogger of The Equinox Fashion for years, this journey has taught me many things. Both good and bad, I can totally see the progress through. Especially, when we are online mostly everyday, keeping up with what everyone else is doing is important. However, aren't you tired?
For me, I am. I mean, I'm tired of thinking and comparing myself to what the online sphere like Instagram has got in store for me. Personally, the number of follower use to be the center of the universe. Why? Because, we are Instagrammer and numbers are everything. Not only for the sake of fame, but also the chance to work with the brands. But, I've stopped concerning about it for over 6 months, and I couldn't be happier. I've shifted my focus on the content "My style, my story" Stop comparing yourself to others is the greatest feeling.

I was a crazy person who obsessed with the fluctuation of numbers. Why she unfollowed me? Ffs more spam accounts? Followed then unfollowed me, for real? I think it happens to all of us, right? Everyone wants to be the front runner. Everyone wants to have the A game. But, sometimes it is just too much. Well, not only for us Instagrammer, but other occupations also. It's normal. We are human-being, we want to feel good, be the leader, earn the respect from others. Do men compare themselves to one another too? They may say 'no' But deep down, they do. We all.

That's why learning not to give a f**** is crucial (at least for me) Because I don't want to be that woman who insanely obsessed with the online platform.

I feel amazing just the way I am. And I do appreciate and grateful with everything that has happened to my life. Though my followers on Instagram@thequinoxfashion is not like 100K, I'm happy with the growth I've built. The main purpose of my platform is to show the audience my style, and accept just the way I am. There's gotta be people who like/unlike and that's fine. I don't know what's the point of comparing my style to others out there. Will my life become better? Hmmm, maybe I would say "my strategy and idea may improve, but my life will be the same" I take a look and observe what everyone does, but I don't compare. It leads me to a variety of ideas such as content, story, writing style, and etc. If we are accepted the way we are without trying to change, people will. stick with us for long. I guess, what I want the most is those who truly understand the message I convey.
