Don’t you hate it when you’re clipping along and suddenly (It’s always suddenly) you see someone in your face who has a mission in life, looks good, becomes famous, has a fabulous vacation house, a hot spouse, etc., etc.

I literally just woke up to a similar FB picture. It’s a stab to the gut. It hurts.

But consider ~ If their life was going so awesomely, they would probably not post statuses at all. They would forget, they would be doing other things, they wouldn’t want to make people jealous. They just want validation!! That’s what it is.

I myself only post family milestone events. A few a year. I think I’m being modest. But, looking at my posts in totality, it shows I’m a terrible braggart. (“Look how wonderful my family is!”) And then, I got blocked by one of my pals. Because her life was filled with discontent.

Don’t be filled with discontent. Plug out of social media and pay attention to your own amazing life!!

This woke me up a bit. I am 45 years old now but I used to be 23 flunking out of college (I went back and graduated at 34). So I sat here wondering what to say to my former self. I came up with this, “The only thing I don’t regret is what I did to help people”.
