Sometimes it's really easy to get in the habit of looking around and comparing your life to someone else's (especially in your twenties). The haves and have-nots are drawn with a very thick Sharpie these days. Have gotten promotions. Haven't gotten a job. Have a ring. Haven't found a boyfriend. Have a robust social life. Haven't quite found their niche. And so forth. And sometimes it's easy to have a whole lot, but focus on that one little thing that you feel is missing.
But last night, as I sat among a group of most beautiful women, each of which has something different happening in life right now, I was reminded how important it is to be grateful for where we are each day. These days, I may not have it all; but I have them here with me in Atlanta. And that's pretty darn great.

You're so right! It's hard not to compare yourself & your life to the people around you but there's ALWAYS something to be thankful for :]
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great night! Why can't we remember this all the time? Sometimes we just need a little reminder! It's like the whole "grass actually is/isn't always greener on the other side" saying

ReplyDeleteFABULOUS! So thoughtful and maybe the only thing to sharpie in is when we get to see one another. Great job Whitney! Momma Brown.
ReplyDeleteit is definitely easy to get all caught up in comparisons! but it makes it so much better to have people around you that you can love and trust no matter what each person is going through :) being in your twenties has been so much more of a learning experience than i ever thought it would be!
