lately

  I'm starting to find inner peace within myself

it's so hard to not constantly compare your life with 

someone else

social media has made the idea of the grass is always greener

more of a lifestyle and has tossed the idea of solitude and routine 

to the side

I'm grateful for my life, my family, friends, and for my job

I don't have to be "this" to get validation for strangers

I need my own validation

There is no competition, there's room for everyone

I'm finally okay with that. I'm finally content with my life.

I have dreams and hope for the future. Just remember to stay on your

own path and try not to compare your life to someone else's; as hard as it is.
