Jen Pastiloff has been making my days lately. Do you know her work? I started reading On Being Human this past weekend, and then this amazing blurb came through my IG feed tonight:
Be happy for people.
Genuinely happy.
But don’t assume or compare.
Or make it mean anything
About you.
It’s kind of stupefying to stand
Where you are
In your own life
And be content.
Don’t compare yourself.
The grass is NOT always
Greener.
Sometimes it’s brown
And needs watering.
Do not wallow in your own suckery.
Water your own lawn.
If you needed these words tonight, then soak ‘em up. If not tonight, then maybe they’ll take root another day. Tuck ‘em away until then. ❤️
I like this post quite a lot–it’s hard to be genuinely happy– I think it’s part of our nature these days to compare. For whatever reason we do compare it can certainly leave us wanting and that’s not a recipe for healthy living. I am definitely going to tuck this away- thank you for sharing!
