We live in a society that literally trains us to constantly compare ourselves to others. Whether it be about looks, fame, financial status, we can always find something to make us feel less.
You turn on the television and the commercials advertise auto-insurance to remind you, you don’t even have a car. You go on Instagram, scroll past an image of a cat playing with string, and it’s received 10 million likes. Actually, cats are the most liked animal on the internet, and a lot cuter than humans, but I digress. We are becoming more and more superficial because superficiality is constantly trending. You’re cool if you wear the most popular clothing brands, or purchased the newest IPhone.
Listen, screw it. Screw it all.
The more one compares themselves, the more one will lose sense of who they truly are. It drains the spirit. You don’t want to look in the mirror and not be able to recognize yourself. The only thing you should be comparing yourself to, is to the person you were yesterday.
We each have something unique, while lacking the uniqueness that another form of life holds. Once you realize this, you will come to find, you already are, and have always been, special.
