exactly.

You walk past girls at school thinking why aren’t I that beautiful?  The real question lies deeper than that.  Why am I constantly comparing myself to others?  Should I feel petty about being the ‘ugly’ one or stop that way of thinking and cherish my good qualities that I can be proud of?  Why is physical beauty such a big percentage of importance out of all the other factors that define humanity?

You walk past good looking guys thinking why can’t I be his girlfriend?  Maybe because its not meant to be?  Sure you may want him badly, but down to the truth if he doesn’t have a 100% interest in you, then why would you want to -make- this happen?  Its like treating someone as a possession you crave for.  Sure it hurts in instances when you’re lead on, but you come first.  Provide your own happiness.  Only you can fully satisfy yourself.

You walk past a cute couple thinking I’m not perfect enough to be in a relationship.  No one is perfect in a relationship.  If there were no struggles or differences in the opposite other, then there is no experience of you learning more awareness of others and more about yourself.  You go into a relationship due to the happening of meeting someone and falling for them, not search for a relationship for the sake of having a relationship.  Those are two different perspectives.  This is probably why a lot fail, because you force it to happen because at the time you want it to happen so badly.

You walk past a rich house thinking why can’t I live in that house?  I’m sorry but the whole rich-money thing helps happiness kills me.  Why can’t you live in that house?  Because the beginning of life is random and the situation you’re put under helps create who you are.  Instead of self-pity, take pride in who you’ve become.  Take pride in the fact that you have worked for the small things you own and know, while some people may not take the appreciation in the small things as you do.  You have a real perspective on life.

You walk past a mirror thinking why did I have to be me?  What is wrong with who you are?  The mistakes you make?  Your appearance?  How others perceive you?  Just because you’re not a fitting piece into someone’s or society’s picture, doesn’t mean you’re any less or more worthy.  I’ve answered this image in such length because it wasn’t long ago that I burdened myself with these questions.   You have the gift of will to live how you want to, and you can change who you want to be the best you can with what you are able to do.  So do it.  Take pride in who you are, no matter how small or un-noticed you or your actions may be.  Because its your life and no matter how we contrast ourselves from one another, we are all born to live and to live in our own way.  From the prettiest girl, to the smartest scientist, and to you, we all die in the end.  So live it, because the more time you spend wishing you were someone else, the more time you’re wasting to live.
