You've heard it. I've heard it. We shouldn't compare our lives to someone else. In the twenty-something games of life, unfortunately, it's all we do. I'm a huge culprit of it. I see my friends finding mates, settling into a career, and building a life. Yes, I know I shouldn't, but it does give me a little drive. Maybe the drive is to post better pictures on Instagram tagged at a work event. Or maybe the drive is to find something I'm completely passionate about and want to wake up everyday to 'work'. My happiness is just one Facebook inspirational quote post away. This is what the 20's are for. Sometimes, yes, it feels like a desperate race to keep up with your friends. Other times, like now, it's a beautiful mess.
For example, today is a beautiful and tragic mess. I'm hungover, drinking a mimosa, and binge watching Walking Dead at 6:30 pm on a Tuesday.
Who is racing now?
