Doesn’t it feel like some people’s lives should be on television? There’s laughing and crying and fighting and dancing and it just seems that every picture that this person posts on Facebook has a little story attached to it. We, as regular people, can get consumed with other people’s lives to the point where we want to be in their shoes or we’re constantly clicking on their profile to get the juicy info. Now, in comparison, our own lives may seem a little boring. Questions pop up like ‘why can’t something exciting like that happen to me?’ or ‘man i would love to be her for one day’. And this, my friend, is the point where you need to click off their profile. Here’s a little story: there was this beautiful girl I was kinda obsessed with just because she had the most glamorous life. I was hooked- I would consistently check her profile to see what she was up to. And it did make me feel kind of crappy that she was out and I was at home in my PJs. Then one day, I went to go to her profile….and she had unfriended me. Makes sense, since I hadn’t spoken to her in years. But suddenly, I was denied access to this girl’s life. I was super pissed at first, but I realized that I felt less crappy. I couldn’t compare myself anymore. That’s when I realized: other people’s lives are cool, sure, but everyone has their own life to deal with. So, instead of wishing you could be that person for like an hour, go out and be yourself. Because when it comes to other people’s ‘glamorous’ lives, sometimes it’s better to mind your own business.
Smile. It won't hurt.
