If life was a constant state of happiness, you wouldn’t know any different.

We need the bad to show us what good feels like.

We are always thinking of the next steps; how, why, where, and what?

On average, we spend two hours of our day scrolling, liking, and responding on social media.

Whats the one thing every picture has in common?

Social media can be as healthy as it can be deadly.

We always think What if that was me?

or I wish I was that rich, successful, pretty…, etc.

you all get the point.

The skinny body you see is photoshopped.

The abs are added on with a photo editing app.

The perfect skin; created with a filter.

The Corvette they own was really only a one-day rental.

The designer clothes they wear is only covering massive amounts of credit card debt.

Yet somehow you arent the only one being fooled.

Yet these are the people we continue to compare our lives against.

We always have someone to prove wrong; someone we desire for to take a second look.

I cant wrap my brain around why we do this, even as I do it myself….

Comparing yourself with a world of perfection will only leave you depressed, beaten down, and hopeless.

Our lives cannot be a state of constant happiness.

If life was a constant state of happiness, you wouldnt know any different.

We need the bad to show us what good feels like.

Happiness begins within and wont be something you stumble upon in your two hours on social media.

The people with perfect lives we compare ourselves too are going through everyday struggles and problems.
