Meh, idk..

I've been feeling down and out about myself, recently yesterday I stumbled upon ig profile of someone who did something wrong to me before. Her life seems so perfect on Instagram. There are posts of her at the beach or with friends flashing money. I started to compare myself to her feeling like I was less then i was like wait a minute, why am I comparing myself to that person. Maybe I'm just depressed. I have an older sibling who compares me a lot to that person on why I can't be like her or how he wishes I was like her, idk maybe I'm just feeling down is all. I don't want pity I'm just venting.

A long time ago I read a small book by Paul Haugh - I can't remember the title. But the best thing in it was along these lines.

Stop thinking of Self-Esteem - Esteem has at it's heart a need to compare with others to determine a ranking. Instead think of Self-Worth - as long as you are believing that you are worthy you are.

It helped me anyways.
