We all know the trend: romanticize your life. Sounds cute, looks aesthetic, but what does it actually mean when life isn’t picture-perfect? In this episode, I talk about how we often make our memories look shinier than they were and why that’s not always a bad thing.

From lonely hostel nights to “magical” hikes that were actually hell, I’m diving into the fine line between appreciating the small things and straight-up lying to yourself. Because sometimes romanticizing your life helps you survive it and sometimes it’s just another filter we hide behind.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever tried to make chaos look cinematic. ✨
