something
i have always
found
difficult to do is to
stop comparing other people's lives to my own. i wish i
knew how to stop glorifying someone else's life just
because they may have something that i want but don't
have. it's hard when you feel like everyone is doing
better than you; when you feel like everyone is actually
progressing, actually living -- and when you really
look back at your life, nothing besides the minor things have
really changed at all. it's hard to walk through narrow
halls and sit in overcrowded classrooms just to hear about
everyone's accomplishments and excitement and
relationships, et. cetera -- when meanwhile, you can only nod
along and listen to the good stuff drone into your ears as
your chest begins to hurt and your bottle of disappointment
overflows without your control. but sometimes, you have to
realize that there is something out there that these people
may really want and find themselves not being able to get as
well. it may just be different from your wishes, and they may
not want to discuss it -- which may be why it seems like
their life is what you want. sometimes, you have to realize
it just isn't going to be fair. life isn't fair. but
we have to make the best out of the things that we cant
control. you might feel like you never get your way, but the
best thing to do about this is to accept your disappointment,
focus on what you can control, and move on. if you know how
to do this, then you're already doing better than
most of us.
