I just don't feel good at much right now. I mean, I know there are things I'm good at. I just keep looking at my friends and all of their successes and thinking that they are far more impressive than I.
I have the friend who is the super successful blogger. The friend who got pregnant on her first try. The friend who has a fancy corporate job with all the perks and good hours. The friend who eats whatever she wants, never exercises and weighs 98 pounds.
And then there's me.
I need to stop comparing myself to other people. It makes me feel like I have nothing to be proud of. I'm not a successful blogger. I am a successful business person-ish. I don't have the body that I want. I'm no where near close to who I want to see in the mirror.
The thing is, I logically know that I'm the only person who sees these as shortcomings. Why can't I agree with everyone else's assessment of my life? It's been a roller coaster of a month, and I just don't feel comfortable in my own skin right now. I certainly don't feel comfortable in my clothes.
There is so much to be proud of. Does it ever get easier to focus on what you are rather than what you're not?
It's hip to be square, kids.
On a lighter note, don't forget about my super fun giveaway that is going on until November 18! Find it here: Raccoon Eyes No More!
And here I am , thinking you ARE pretty successful. Look what you did for our friend's son Carter after the Moore Tornado!!! I'll actually get to see that first hand next week when I visit them. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not always exactly how we see it, huh? We are our own worst critics.
