comparison is the thief of joy

[enablelove]

This is so true - and exactly how I've been feeling lately. I love social media, but in the end I compare myself to everyone:

-other authors that got more kudos/comments
-fandom friends that got more likes/replies
-teachers that have better ideas
-coworkers that are doing fun stuff
-family/friends that are having sweet relationships

UGH. I wish it were easier to just say STOP IT to that part of my brain!
