Hey ,

Let’s be honest—comparison is exhausting.

Scrolling through Instagram or LinkedIn, you see a friend celebrating a new job, another buying a car, and someone else traveling to another country… Meanwhile, you’re just trying to figure out life.

I get it. I’ve been there.

It’s easy to start questioning yourself. “Did I take the wrong path?” “Am I moving too slow?” “Why does it feel like I’m stuck?”

But here’s the thing—comparison is a thief of joy. It tricks you into focusing on someone else’s journey while ignoring the value in yours.

Does this mean you shouldn’t acknowledge that someone else is doing better?

Not at all. If anything, learn from them. But only if you know what they actually do, not just what they post.

If you feel stuck, don’t let comparison drain you. Let it inspire you. Refocus. Realign. Keep moving.

,your story is still unfolding, and trust me, it’s going to be worth it.

Your Thriving Friend,

Darasimi
