Untitled for Reasons Unknown.

Scenario: walking down the street with a friend who is significantly skinnier than I and thinking, "Why is she always so put together? Why can't I look like her?" Unbeknownst to me, she was thinking earlier while seeing my husband and I talking and playing with our son, "Why can't I have a family and be happy like these guys?"

Here are the reasons that you should stop comparing yourself to other people.

1. Not everyone is as put together as they look. Looks are easy to alter and never tell how someone is feeling inside unless they actually physically show those emotions, and let's be real, that rarely happens in this day and age.
2. EVERYONE has SOMETHING they wish they could change. You are not alone in feeling like you could use some improvement in any aspect of your life.
3. You are unique. Regardless of what you think, you are one of a kind, ROCK THAT SHIT.
4. It takes time and practice to learn to love yourself. In a world that is constantly telling us that we should be this size, have this shape face, follow this trend or you're not one of the cool kids, it's hard to love yourself the way you are without going through the process of put-downs, scrutiny, and hatred. To be honest, I'm still struggling with loving who I am and everything that comes with me. It's a battle we all fight in and it's a battle that can be won with time and practice.
5. There are thoughts unseen. You may want to be like this person, but they might want to be like you. Everyone has been someone's goal person at some point. Just be you, there's really no reason to want to be someone else because even they want to be someone different.

Be you, it's who you were born to be and it's the only person that you should be unapologetically.
