If I could go just one day without comparing my life to someone else's, I think that would be a form of freedom my mind can't even fathom. Thank you always for keeping us sane and grounded and appreciated. Your work is so needed in this busy kaleidoscope of life.

Teddy Roosevelt said "comparison is the thief of joy," and, as you said, social media is rife with comparison. I left Instagram in April and am off Facebook about 95% of the time, and I am so much happier for it. Those perfect moments are just moments, and dwelling on them doesn't help. Focusing on what is is so much more useful than focusing on what isn't. Thanks for another beautiful essay.
