It’s a trap!

I will not compare myself to strangers on the internet.

This print by Emily McDowell is an important reminder, and I really appreciate what she wrote in the product description:

“I will not compare myself to strangers on the internet. It’s so hard, isn’t it? The downside of having so much access to inspiration and information at our fingertips is that it’s easy to get caught up in how amazing / accomplished / fun other people’s lives appear. It’s a trap! We can’t compare our real lives to other people’s carefully curated highlight reels. It’s just not the same thing.”

Here are a few other items from Emily’s shop that I love/made me laugh out loud:

Awesome, right? They would make great gifts too, don’t you think?
