リズ・チェルカソワのインスタグラム(lateafternoon) - 8月9日 10時07分
Do you know the feeling of moving forward while standing still? The feeling that everything is changing while at the same time staying exactly the same? After a decade of sharing my life with the you, I have spent the last couple of years hiding behind a veil in a vain effort to maintain my misguided “influencer illusion“. Hiding behind my pretty pictures is a form of self-preservation that helps me cope with feelings of inadequacy and failure. It’s much easier to talk about the feeling of burn out than it is to admit the financial repercussion that come as a result of it. Who wants to talk about downsizing your home, or having to postpone your vacation when you can post a pretty picture while vaguely referencing a feeling almost everyone can relate to. It’s a safe way to share a small slice of reality without ever truly discussing anything real or meaningful.
My priorities have changed drastically in the last few years. It’s time my content began reflecting that change. The picture I chose to share today is my little reading corner. Why? Because I love the late afternoon light that streams through my windows. I love the view of the entire city sprawled out in front of me (even if the freeway is just below). I love that this is the spot where I found the master's degree program I am applying to. I love that this is the spot where I taught myself how to knit. I love that this is the spot where I vacuum 3 times a day because my 3 dogs shed constantly and it drives me nuts. Most of all I love that this is the spot where I learned that I did not need to travel to discover the wonders of our world. This is the spot that that means nothing to you, but everything to me.

I hope I can sound remotely eloquent here because your post has struck a chord and to be honest, I have no words because they resonate so deeply. I’ve been following you for a long time and can tell you are so genuine, Liz! There are those that post “real” captions or images to ride the “authentic” wave and you’re the real deal. The struggle between giving yourself up to this platform and maintaining a sense of self and true authenticity. I’m so glad you shared this post! ❤️

@rclayton I am so glad this resonated with you and THANK YOU for your kind words. I have always tried to be authentic but at a certain point I lost myself. It’s been a challenges to come back up but it’s women like you that prove to me it’s worth it.

And because that spot means so much to you, it means a lot to me, too. Because I can 1000% relate. Thank you for sharing this love. I needed to hear this today. A great reminder to check in with ourselves.
