Life comparison quote
Please stop pulling the “others managed, why can’t you?” card on me. We all have different battles, and just because someone else found their way through doesn’t mean I can follow the same path.
Some people grew up with more support, better resources, or just a stronger grip on their emotions. Maybe they didn’t face the same heaviness that weighs me down. It’s like telling someone to swim when they’ve never even been taught how to float—some of us are barely keeping our heads above water. You wouldn’t ask a plant to grow in the shade the same way as one in the sun.
Sometimes, the weight of expectations becomes unbearable because we feel like we’re constantly compared to others. “If they can do it, you should be able to too.” But we’re not all built the same, and the pressure to meet those standards can break us more than build us.
Some people are juggling financial problems, mental health issues, or just trying to get through the day without falling apart. I might not have the same strength today that I had yesterday, and that’s okay. Let me be human, in my own way, in my own time.
