No. 41 Romanticizing life, finding true presence + embracing imperfection
In this Dear Evergreen episode, we’re digging into the complicated truth behind “romanticizing your life.” A listener writes in about feeling disconnected when trying to create beautiful moments—and wondering if they’re actually living their life or just performing it.
We explore:
the difference between curating your life and truly being present
why chasing “perfect moments” can sometimes backfire
how aesthetic culture and social media shapes our expectations
the role of discipline, discomfort, and acceptance in real presence
why embracing imperfection is key to genuine joy
If you’ve ever felt like you were trying to enjoy your life more than you were actually living it, this one’s for you.
