You
Why is everyone so obsessed with how other people are living?
No one focuses on themselves anymore.
A teen sees the photoshopped faces of celebrities and thinks to herself:
Why don’t I look like that?
And becomes convinced that she is not beautiful.
A man bumps into an old classmate on the street and thinks to himself:
Why don’t I have life as easy as he does?
And becomes convinced that he is not successful.
A college student watches people enjoying each other’s company and thinks to herself:
Why does no one care for me the way that they care for each other?
And becomes convinced that she is not loved.
Enough.
It’s time for us to take control of our minds.
No more comparisons.
Because at the end of the day,
Nobody matters but you.
You
need to deal with you.
