The falsehood of social media is overwhelming us and comparing...

Hello everyone. For a few days now, I have had this recurring thought: why do social networks show us the achievements of others with an ease that is truly overwhelming? And I do not want to be misunderstood, the Internet is undoubtedly a very necessary tool for the exponential change that the world experiences every day; But, if we are aware, life is not as simple as they show it.

I have two university degrees, I speak English (my native language is Spanish), I am learning a new language, I have taken history and philosophy courses, and reading is my non-negotiable pleasure. And from here I tell you that it is not simple; I have taken too many courses, I have attended seminars, talks, debates, etc., because I love to learn; but unfortunately my resume is never selected.

I feel trapped, stuck, tired and even a little sad knowing that I have worked hard not for anyone, but for myself, because I have always wanted to have a good and successful life in which I can help my family financially.

In 2020 I had a skincare business (that's how things are in times of pandemic), but in 2022 I had to close it because there were more losses than profits; Then I started doing certain aesthetic treatments (since I am a cosmiatrician), I did home treatments such as wood therapy, deep cleanings, etc. Similarly, later I had a dessert business that was going well, because I even made deliveries outside my city, but they were made to order and there were not always orders as such; Currently my parents have decided to start a gourmet ice cream and pastry business and I am helping them grow.
