Written in my journal pt.1

Written down: Comparison is the killer of joy  

How do I find myself, sitting in a place like this, still comparing myself to others and “envying” what others have. 

Sounds crazy right? 

And this is just one example of what goes through my mind when I should be content/ happy/ in awe of what surrounds me. But truth is some days, even if I’m sitting somewhere as amazing as this the joy killer likes to pop in to say hello. 

This is 1 of the main reasons why I would want to delete all social media and throw my phone into the ocean. But why don’t I just do that? delete all social media and get rid of my damn phone. I mean I could, the world wouldn’t end. But I think I find joy in sharing and creating? At least that’s what I tell myself I could just have a social media addiction which is probably also true… or fomo I guess… 

Idk, the bottom line is that we all spend (all as in me, speaking to myself here) way to much time overanalysing people and their lives and their friends and what they have, and we spend little time thinking about our lives and our friends and what we have right in front of us. 

So this is my sign, and maybe yours too, to be more grateful, be more present and maybe start looking through your camera roll instead of scrolling on instagram for a change!
