as long as I’m doing my best to be my best I can’t do much else, trying to compare my progress against a whole other life and their experience is silly
taking inspiration and applying lessons to your own life is absolutely valuable though

Bad decision after bad decision after bad decision then trying to make the most of the opportunities I had left which I think I’ve done an okay job with. it’s easy to get caught up in wishing things were different or that I had taken different paths but then I wouldn’t be… me 🥹 I’ve gained a unique perspective from living a fairly unique life

I have recently come to realize how meaningless and vain life can sometimes be, like going shopping, why can I afford to spend an insane amount on clothes and food while people on the other side of the world are starving for a piece of bread? Looking at life from a different perspective and realizing that the small things we complain about are nothing compared to what people have to endure in life, makes you grateful for what you have and mindful of what you spend. If you're always complaining about your life then when will you find time to enjoy it? reading this back makes me realize that I am not destined to be a writer. byee

This might not necessarily apply to your situation, but I figured I’d share my thoughts anyway.
Often I think we buy into narratives we impose on ourselves about what will make us truly happy or content. People spend a lot of their lives chasing some lofty goal, often at great personal cost, both mental and physical. And once they get there, the result might not even be that great. There might be some complications that were never considered. Or, the day-to-day reality of the dream made manifest isn’t as glamourous or fulfilling as we thought it would be.
I’m not saying you need to disregard your aspirations. But I think it’s good to have an open mind about potential futures, even beyond what you see as being immediately fulfilling, or the “truest” version of yourself. I know it’s hard in our world to conceive of our self-worth outside of what we spend a great deal of our time doing. At the same time, I think it’s possible to strike a balance between what we think we want and what ends up making us happy.
Hope that makes sense.
