{UAH} Envy No One
Envy No One
After the university/secondary school all we have is Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.
We see our course mates and age group on social media, and we envy how well things are going for them. We notice their weave and skin colour.
We look at how far they have gone in the corporate world and constantly compare ourselves to them.
We help them count their children since we have none to count. So Facebook/ Instagram becomes a place that reminds us of how far behind we are.
The unspoken truth is that everybody displays the best part of their lives here. Their skin colour could be as a result of a good camera and you might actually have more financially.
Nobody tells you that they have been laid off and currently all they have is their phones, make up and slick suits.
The most important thing you must always remember is that "things are not always what they seem, and you are only in competition with yourself".
Don't envy anyone, avoid the comparison trap, brace yourself up and be d best you want and can be.
