EXPECTATIONS VS. REALITY

Expectation is Cute, Reality is Real

Ok, so we’ve all seen those aesthetic moments, right? The ones where everything just clicks—soft light, pastel vibes, and you’re glowing like you stepped out of a dream. Total goals. But, real talk: sometimes the dream doesn’t exactly match the reality. Those effortless days you imagine? Yeah, they’re not always as chill as they seem. Sometimes the vibe is a little more chaotic, and that’s ok. It’s time to get real about what happens when expectations meet reality.

In the end, it’s all about embracing the realness, even if it’s not all perfectly polished. The magic happens in those unplanned, messy moments—like when your bun falls out, but it somehow makes you feel even cuter. So, let go of the pressure, embrace the vibe, and just enjoy the ride. After all, that’s where the fun is… sometimes.

ABOUT THE WRITER…

Yalina

A Barbie girl living in a Disney world, where extra EXTRA is simply her lifestyle, where her Beyoncé-level shower concerts are a regular event, and where a good outfit can fix almost anything. A rom-com enthusiast who doesn’t just binge-watch them – she listens to them on audiobook while running actual miles (which qualify her as an athlete). Yalina lives, laughs, and loves deeply—on her big, scattered Mexican family and framily who are close to her heart. But as an avid runner, if you can’t find her, chances are she’s running like Forrest – far, far away… from her problems… and probably from dating apps.
