I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished I was someone else.
And why have I wished I was someone else?
Well, because some people have the nicest clothes.
Some people have great skin.
Some people have completed their Bachelor’s Degree and are done with college by the age of 22.
Some people don’t have money problems.
Some people have kids.
Some people are so smart.
Honestly, the reasons are endless.
But, after I let myself sulk in self pity I start to think about the thing(s) they have that I wouldn’t want to deal with.
I mean, lets be real.
No one has a perfect life, no matter how much of a front they put on.
I think at times blogging can be hard too.
So many people compare themselves with other blogs.
They wished they had as many followers as the “big blogs” do.
They wished they had the life just like those “big bloggers”.
When the fact is, people only show you what they want you to see.
So, if they want you to see their life as one big Anthropology magazine,
that’s what you are going to get.
And that’s just the way it is.
Sometimes it’s hard to understand the blogging world and it can be tough not to compare your self at times.
(Especially when you are having a REALLY bad day).
I’m grateful for blogging.
For all the new friends I’ve made and for all the support you guys show me.
I am so grateful for the comments you leave me.
They let me know that I’m not alone and that you really care!
THANK YOU !

Happy Wednesday!

April 4, 2013 at 12:55 pmThis is a beautiful quote and a much needed reminder! Everyone has those rough days where they wish to be someone else and it's a good reminder to be the best you.

April 4, 2013 at 3:28 pmVery true! You can only strive to be the best 'you' that you can be (that's a lot of you's, haha). That's a great Oscar Wilde quote, by the way.
