Someone reminded me to be grateful.
It is a simple concept, but to realistically apply it to your everyday life… …
It is a struggle.
They always say that comparison is a thief of joy. But in this era where you get bombarded by information and visuals left right centre every other minute, the thief creeps underneath your skin, and seeps into your brain. You start to notice the things that others have, whereas you lack. How it seems to be effortless for others, but is a struggle for you.
“你过的人生，却是别人梦幻人生。“
Retrospectively, my life definitely isn’t as bad as what I thought as it to be, when I don’t compare.
I try to be more mindful of my thoughts these days, and spend less time on social media. I post what I wanted to post, checked on others that I care for, and then exit the platform.
I read more, listen to more music.
I write more too. I think the two weeks challenge is doing some good for me. Although on some days I am cracking my head on what to write, but atleast I tried.
I tried before I give up on this place.
That is all that matters, isn’t it.
