Your insecurity is when you compare your polaroid with someo

Summary

This quote suggests that insecurity arises when we compare ourselves to others, particularly when we compare our flaws or imperfections with someone else's highlight reel. It highlights the danger of comparing our own authentic selves to the seemingly perfect faÃ§ades that people often present to the world. Just like comparing a simple polaroid with a professionally edited glamour shot, this comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. It reminds us to focus on embracing our uniqueness and being content with who we are, rather than constantly seeking validation through comparison.

Was it the act of giving birth that made you a mother? Did you lose that label when you relinquished your child? If people were measured by their deeds, on the one hand, I had a woman who had chosen to give me up; on the other, I had a woman who'd sat up with me at night when I was sick as a child, who'd cried with me over boyfriends, who'd clapped fiercely at my law school graduation. Which acts made you more of a mother?Both, I realized. Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.
