Hope You Like It

The worst thing about comparing ourselves, is that we have such an ugly image of ourselves. you don’t see how many smiles you gave others, or the people who love you for being yourself. you don’t see how lovely you look when the sunlight hits your eyes, or your little accomplishments. you only see what you lack. you could be the prettiest garden and want to cry because another garden has different flowers. you could be the sweetest peach in the world and still hate yourself because you’re not a strawberry. you’re comparing the worst version of yourself to the best version of others. you don’t appreciate or see what you do have. it is a really toxic mindset where whatever you do, you will never be enough. you might think, i wish i was the prettiest, or smartest or most popular. but in reality, even if you were all those things, you will still find what you don’t have. it’s a never-ending thing, and comparisons will kill you. there are more important things in life to spend time on. why not spend the 86,400 seconds you have in every day to love yourself, see your worth and better yourself? why not draw or study hard or play a sport because you love it and it makes you happy, rather than be sad or lie in bed, just because there is someone else who did those things better, or earlier? why not love your beautiful features, because someone else’s beauty doesn’t take away yours (and you don’t know how many people have admired you too!) you don’t need to be the best. if you do something and you love it, that’s more than enough. if you feel good in your skin, and love yourself because peaches are as amazing as strawberries but in different ways, that’s more than enough. you don’t need other people in the picture. you are already more than enough.
