Content | Peony Project Link Up

The Peony Project has been an awesome group!  I was so excited when I found a group of God loving women who also love to blog and share their lives.  These ladies are beyond welcoming and they are always happy to have new people drop by.  If you haven't had a chance yet, swing on over and check them out.

The word "Content" is a word that can be a little nerve racking for me.  When I think of the word content, I think of being happy with what I have.  The definition of content is: in a state of peaceful happiness.  

A lot of times we see other bloggers sharing their "perfect" lives on instagram/twitter but I always wander what is behind the perfectly posed picture.  Is the gal happy, is she going through a tough time, or is she just that really well put together. These are just questions I ask myself.  

I follow a lot of blogs on Bloglovin and there are times that I will unfollow someone that just doesn't seem to be real.  I like bloggers who share their lives as it is, no sugar coating.  Ladies that share their lives and are content with their surroundings.

Everyday I open up my computer and write a post, I want it to be real as if we are sitting and having a conversation.  I don't want to hide anything or seem fake to someone.  I want people to know that I am real and I am here to share my life with them as raw as it may be.

I am content with my not so perfect life, the clothes that are piled on the end of the bed and the bathroom that hasn't been cleaned in a week.  It's ok because I am happy with the way things are, with my husband, and my job.  I cam content with who I am and I don't want to be anyone else.
