We feel like we are falling behind in life.

These are the moments we all post on Instagram and feel proud to boast to others about.
We attach our self-worth to what we do.
We struggle with comparison and envy, even among our friends.
Then, you find yourself scrolling through Instagram one night and come across a friends page.
A feeling of anxiety overcomes you and you suddenly realize you areenvious.
However, we all have unique paths and our own success stories, so there shouldnt be any comparison.
The only reason we should ever look at other peoples lives is to be inspired or to help someone.
Anxiety makes life harder than it needs to be.
Nothing ever feels relaxed.
Its this cycle of trying to balance existing.
We feel like social media validates us.
A lot of us would feel inadequate without social praise.
Relationships make us feel like we are accepted in society.
Not all, but some of us secretly feel like being in a relationship is an achievement.
Self-love is an everyday battle.
So many self-love articles make it seem as though self-love can be achieved overnight.
There will be days you question if you are enough.
That doesnt mean you arent making any progress, it means you are human.
No one knows what they are doing.
You arent alone in your confusion.
Pretending to be strong every day is hard.
I wont say we arent strong, because we are.
Living and going through the challenges of everyday life is strength.
Being human means we are strong because we keep going even if we feel like giving up.
There are days where not even a glossy photo on social media or an accomplishment can mask our pain.
In the end, we all just want to make it.
And that is enough.
