No. 40 Pinterest boards, trend hopping + the pressure to be everything
Ever feel like you’re trying to be five different people at once? One scroll through Pinterest or TikTok and suddenly you want to be the jet-setting party girl *and* the cozy, book-reading homebody *and* the green-juice yoga girl—at the same time. In this Dear Evergreen episode, we unpack the pressure to curate a life that looks perfect from every angle and the confusion that comes from absorbing so many beautiful, conflicting versions of “the ideal.”
We talk about:
- The difference between inspiration and imitation
- The trap of performative living
- How to reconnect with your real preferences
- And why you can’t be everyone, especially not all at once
If you’ve ever wondered whether your dreams are truly yours—or just a mood board you accidentally became—this one’s for you.

Your prescription for living well, dose for this week: Lots of curation, staging + planning goes into the images we see online, especially on our good old friend, Ms. Pinterest. Let’s go for what is real in our lives. Might not make the most perfect picture but having an authentic time will feel better, no matter if it’s the best time ever, meh or something in between. For the most part, these images aren’t candid or real life — even if it seems real. Take a moment to let me know your thoughts about this subject. I’d love to hear from you. ✨
