Comparison is the thief of joy

I’m seeing way too many posts saying how “im x age and never had x, am i cooked?” I feel like it’s necessary to put a reminder out that comparison is the thief of joy. Who cares if you’re 20 or 30, and you still don’t have a job, or never had a girlfriend, or a kiss. Who cares if there happen to be other 20-year-olds who are living great lives traveling around the world. That’s not you right now. That’s perfectly normal and okay. Your time will come sooner or later. But the more you compare yourself with other people’s paths and lifestyles, the more you’re going to get depressed that “oh I should’ve done this I should’ve done that” mentality. Just live your life and have fun. Your path is different from others. Sometimes things take longer than expected, but comparing yourself to people isn’t going to do you any good. It’s just going to make you have a shittier depression about things you wish you could do. Hopefully this all makes sense.
