We all do it, some more than others, but we all have and will do it. Compare. I am the worst! I am constantly comparing myself to other women, moms, girls…comparing my kids to their kids, my family to their family…it’s so exhausting, right?! And I find that I don’t compare all the bad stuff…I compare the good stuff. It’s like I pick and choose what I wish I had from other people…their home, her hair, those kids (hahaha jk!), her car, her sense of humor…the list goes on. So after I take what I like from about 30 people, I compare THAT to me and my life. So I constantly make an unrealistic list of how I should or how I want to be and I can never measure up to that…especially because I’m not 30 other people, I am ME. Dang it! Haha
