#funny things#but also re last post re#competition#comparing#it could be worse#banners#guilt#there is a time and a place#but mostly don't compare yourself#have sympathy for others' problems and don't wallow in self-pity endlessly#but letting yourself feel things and acknowledge that yes your situation/whatever sucks#is so important#i don't think focussing on hypothetical 'worse' things is helpful at all#unless it really is a trivial problem and you can look at your OWN life#to see that in the grand scheme of things it will get better#i don't think comparing yourself to others - unless in an empathetic caring for them way - is beneficial#it just makes u feel guilty and not worthy of feeling sad#when we all do#we're all allowed to feel things and should#ok bye!#my rambles
