Moving Day Monologue

a little something while I am boxed up

I have been trying to work through this idea of comparison. It is late in the day and I still have not posted anything.

So here it goes. Something off the top of my head. One proof read and it will go out.

A lot of us tend to look at the shiny object we see online and wonder why we don’t have it. It is always chasing the next thing, the car, the watch, the house, the better job. Obviously these are all material things and maybe that is where the problem is. And who knows the world is just your own projection.

However, recently I have found myself living in a cycle of comparison. Wondering why my life is not going the way I want it to. But by any objective measure my life is going great. I should be more grateful (something I am trying to practice).

I am sitting here in a nearly packed up apartment as I am moving and I am just thinking about all the ways it could be better. Instead of just slowing down and being happy with it all. I am proud of myself somedays, but it is tough to not look around and wonder what I else I am missing.

I am trying to get back into writing, as I have been really slacking. Just not sitting down to do the thing. Telling myself one lie, but in reality it is just laziness.

Here is trying to slow down and focus on the day instead of what others have.
