Comparing Yourself. · 7:42am Feb 7th, 2020
Everyone tells you not to compare yourself, and that's a huge truth. But sometimes you're not going to be able to avoid it, so all you can do is avoid the materials that make you compare yourself. Sometimes it's a gut clench reaction that occurs when you least expect it. You think you're completely at peace and comfortable with your own skills, but then you look at someone more popular than you, who does almost the exact same thing as you, and you realize you're not really at peace with it after all.
All you can do is avoid these moments, and try to shelter yourself. Remind yourself that the beauty of your reflection is not based on popularity or skill, but by your behavior as a human being. And that it's okay to make mistakes and falter sometimes, so long as you get back up and try again.
